Directions

Soak rice noodles in warm water for 15 minutes.Note:If they soak longer dont worry.I have done it at least an hour ahead.

Combine all ingredients listed below lime wedges,stir to mix,set aside.

In a lightly greased hot pan, add egg,swirl to create a thin layer on pan,hold over heat,turn heat down return pan to burner.Do not over cook,only a few minutes.Roll up omelet,remove from heat,cut into thin strips.

In a wok fry shallots and garlic in appx.5 Tbls.hot oil over medium high heat.Add chicken and or/tofu careful not to brown garlic remove from heat if oil too hot.Add vegetables,stir fry about 2 minutes,add shrimp,stirring frequently.Add noodles,toss well.Add oyster sauce mixture.Toss to coat well,add tomatoes.Cook another minute or two stirring well.Remove from heat.Place noodle/veg/chicken mix in a large bowl.Add basil,toss to mix.

Serve garnished with chopped peanuts,lime wedges,cilantro and a few sprigs basil.Serve soy sauce on side.Enjoy

NOTE:This recipe orginally called for fresh Sen Yai noodles,unavailable in my area.I replaced with dry rice noodles but I have used regular extra wide egg noodles with good results.Cook them underdone/al dente,rinse with cold water and drain,reserve until ready to stir fry,it is still very good with these.

I made this the other night and didn't realize I didn't have the wide rice noodles and ended up using cellophane noodles. It tasted really similar to my favorite - pud woon sen. I'll add more garlic (as always), more lime juice and kick up the spice a bit when making it again.
