Instructions

1.Put noodles in bowl and cover with very hot water. Let soak until pliable, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a colander and drain, shaking and tossing once or twice.
2.In a bowl, whisk together the fish sauce, brown sugar, lime juice, Crushed Red Pepper and Schichimi Togarashi.
3.In a large skillet or wok, heat 1/4 cup Roasted Chile Avocado Oil until shimmering. Add the shallots and garlic and cook over high heat until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Add the noodles and stir fry until heated through, about 2 minutes.
4.Push the noodles to the side and add the remaining Tablespoon of Roasted Chile Avocado Oil. Add in the eggs and cook until nearly set, about 1 minute. Add the scallions and toss everything together, taking care to keep the eggs in tact. Add the fish sauce mixture and stir until everything is evenly coated.
5. Transfer to a platter and garnish with peanuts, cilantro and/or bean sprouts. Add a sprinkle of Crushed Red Pepper for a little more heat if desired.
