  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ cup white wine or mirin
  • 2 tablespoons red curry paste
  • 2 tablespoons Thai garlic chili paste
  • 3 tablespoons hot mango chutney
  • ¼ cup oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce
  • 1 tablespoon cilantro paste or fresh cilantro
  • 2 tablespoons ginger minced
  • ¼ cup lime juice
  • 1 ghost pepper finely chopped
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • 2 sprigs lemon grass chopped
  • 2 tablespoons garlic minced
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 cup zucchini sliced
  • ½ cup red bell pepper chopped
  • 1 cup baby corn chopped
  • 1 shallot minced
  • 3 cremini mushrooms sliced
  • ½ cup pea pods
  • ¼ cup broccoli slaw optional
  • ¼ cup Thai basil + more for topping
  • 1 cup bok choy chopped greens to white

  • 2 eggs

Instructions
 

  • In a wok over high heat, melt the butter until frothy. Add the shrimp and cook until pink, about 5 minutes. Season with cracked pepper. Remove from the wok and set aside. Do not clean the wok.
  • Deglaze the wok with the wine. When the liquid is simmering, add the curry paste, Thai garlic chile paste, chutney, oyster sauce, fish sauce, cilantro paste, ginger, lime juice, garlic and ghost pepper. Bring to a simmer then add the garlic, soy sauce, brown sugar, lemon grass and bay leaves. Return to a simmer. Simmer until thickened, about 10 minutes.
  • Add in the zucchini, bell pepper, baby corn, shallot, mushrooms, pea pods, broccoli slaw bok choy and Thai basil. Stir to coat in the sauce. When the mushrooms and peppers have softened, about 5 minutes, add in the rice noodles and broth. Bring to a rolling boil and cook the noodles for 5-6 minutes.
  • When the noodles are al dente, add two whole eggs to the wok. Gently press beneath the surface of the liquid and allow to cook for about 2 minutes before stirring into the noodles to create a creamy texture.
  • Return the cooked shrimp to the wok. Heat through, about 2-3 minutes, then remove from the heat. The liquid will thicken as it cools. Enjoy with naan and Bolin's favorite dumplings. Enjoy!
