Thai Noodles recipe

1 lb shrimp or chicken
1 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup brown sugar
3 TBS minced ginger
3 cloves minced garlic
5 cloves minced garlic
1/2 cup chopped green onions
1/2 cup chopped parsley
2 carrots, grated
1/2 diced red bell pepper
1 cup sliced mushrooms
olive oil
1 cup chicken stock or fish stock
3 TBS sugar
3 TBS Thai fish sauce
2 TBS oyster sauce
3 TBS lime juice
1 tsp chili sauce
1 pkg glass noodles (rice noodles)

Cook the chicken or shrimp by slowly frying it in olive oil or boiling it.
Mix the soy sauce, sugar, ginger, and 3 cloves minced garlic. Marinate the meat in this sauce.

Put the 5 cloves garlic, green onions, parsley, carrots, red bell pepper, and mushrooms in a pot with a little of the marinade. Cook on medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring often.
Combine the stock (chicken stock if you're using chicken; fish stock if you're using shrimp) and sugar in a pot and cook until the sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and add fish sauce, oyster sauce, lime juice, and chili sauce.

Soak noodles in water for 15 minutes.
Boil according to the package directions. You want them tender. Drain and rinse.

Remove meat from marinade and toss the noodles with the meat and other veggies. The marinade can be discarded or added to the meal (your preference).

NOTE: If you want a spicier meal, you can add more chili sauce.
