Thai Crispy Veg Noodle
by Tarla Dalal

All kinds of fun packed into one dish, the Thai Crispy Veg Noodle is one that will instantly recharge your happiness quotient!

A scrumptious base of crispy noodles is topped with delectable sautéed veggies and a tongue-tickling sweet, sour and spicy sauce. A garnish of crushed peanuts and spring onions adds to the taste, mouth-feel and aroma of the dish.

You can prepare all the ingredients in advance, but just has to be assembled just before serving as it tends to become soggy after a short while. Plus, each serving needs to be assembled separately so that everyone gets an equal share of all the goodies!
