Shallot Oil

  • 3 shallots thinly sliced
  • ½ cup neutral oil avocado, vegetable, or canola oil
  • 2 cloves garlic thinly sliced

For the Noodles

Toppings

  • Fried shallots from making the shallot oil
  • Fried garlic from making the shallot oil
  • Fresh cilantro
  • Chili oil

Instructions

  • In a small pot, heat neutral oil over medium heat until about 350F. Add the sliced shallots and fry, stirring frequently, until golden and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. In the last 2-3 minutes, add the sliced garlic until golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to remove the shallots and garlic and drain them on a paper towel to save for garnish later. Set aside to let the oil cool slightly.
    Note: For this recipe, you may not use all of the shallot oil so you can save any remaining in an airtight container.
    3 shallots, ½ cup neutral oil, 2 cloves garlic
  • Lightly oil a cutting board to prevent sticking. Dip 2 sheets of rice paper (3 sheets if you like the noodles thicker) in lukewarm water, stack them evenly, and place them on the oiled board. Brush the top layer with more oil to keep it moist and prevent from sticking together. Cut the stack into 1-inch thick noodles or your desired size. As you peel the noodles from the cutting board, immediately transfer the noodles to a bowl of lukewarm water to keep the noodles moist and separated. Soak for a few minutes as you finish making the noodles and sauce.
