Mee Krob Thai Noodles

Mee Krob is a great Thai dish that's made with fried rice noodles in a sweet sauce. I had it first at a local Thai restaurant last year. I've been working on perfecting the recipe. The sauce consists of oil, honey, tamarind juice, rice vinegar, paprika, fish sauce, light soy sauce, and an egg. You mix the ingredients in a saute pan and simmer on low for a few minutes. Then you add the egg and lightly scramble. When the sauce thickens, add shrimp or chicken, stir well until everything is cooked. Set the sauce aside and start frying the noodle. When the sauce has cooled, toss with noodles, and plate. Garnish with bean sprouts, cilantro, scallions, and lime.
