I was cooking some braised eggplant so wanted something had
that a little crunch to it to go with it. I had seen these noodle pancakes when
browsing through this book so thought this was a good opportunity to try them
out.
The noodles first had to be soaked in boiling water for a
few minutes until they were soft. They were then rinsed and dried as much as
possible with paper towels. They were then placed in a bowl with all of the
other chopped ingredients: coriander, spring onions, red chilli, garlic and
some lemon grass.
All that remained was to drop tablespoonfuls into hot oil in a frying pan. They splattered wildly and widely but soon browned and
crisped up. They were certainly crisp but did not have a lot of flavour despite
the mix of ingredients added to the noodles.
