3-4 tbsp roasted peanuts coarsely crushed
2 tbsp spring greens sliced
2 tbsp white sesame seeds

Instructions

Boil your noodles according to packet instructions, drizzle some oil over it and set it aside until needed
Bash your lemon grass stalk, with the back of your knife, and remove the outer, hard layer. Roughly chop the stalk and pound it, coarsely
Heat the oil, over medium flame and add the chili flakes. Saute´couple minutes, until well roasted
Then add the ginger, garlic, lemon grass and fry for a minute or so
When aromatic, add in the vegetables along with a teaspoon of salt^* and mix well
Now, add the cooked noodles and all the sauces. Stir all this well and evenly with the vegetables and cook for another 3-4 minutes and remove from flame
Drizzle over the sesame seeds, spring greens and the peanuts. Serve your delicious and spicy Thai vegetable noodles with some boiled eggs. Enjoy!

Notes

*Be cautious when adding the salt, as all the sauces have salt in them. So, do a seasoning check once before you add it
The sweetness in the ketchup will balance the heat of the chili flakes and sauce. If the noodles still feel spicy for you, you could add a little honey to balance it out
You could use any vegetables of your choice for the recipe. I have used bean sprouts, bell peppers and carrots. Some other options are onions, french beans, mushrooms, snap peas, baby corn, broccoli florets etc
Even fried or scrambled eggs work very well in this recipe
You could also add grilled and sliced chicken, stir fried prawns and/or pork too to your noodles
