- 2 limes
- 2 tsp sesame oil
- 150 g dried glass noodles
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 250 g minced Chicken shrimp or chopped firm tofu

Instructions
First, put
the glass noodles in a bowl and cover with boiling water. Let them sit for
about 10 minutes.
Then, meanwhile,
bring a saucepan to the boil with 1 l of water and heat a medium saucepan with
1 teaspoon of oil. Add the ground chicken and fry for about 5 minutes, breaking
the pieces with a fork while cooking. Add a pinch of salt and fry for another 3
minutes, then add the garlic and fry for another minute until the garlic loses
its raw smell. Put aside.
Take the
noodles from the soaked water and add them to the pot of boiling water. Let
them sit in the water for a minute, then drain and rinse with cold water. Cut
them into small pieces with your kitchen scissors.
Put the
limes in a small bowl and add the soy sauce, fish sauce, sesame oil, ginger and
brown sugar. Stir until the sugar dissolves. If not, put it in the microwave
for a few seconds and stir again.
Set peanuts
and cilantro aside for decoration. Combine all ingredients, including salad
dressing in a bowl and mix well. You want the dressing to properly cover the
noodles. Sprinkle with peanuts and cilantro and serve. Happy Cooking Time.
