Ingredients

1 3/4 ounces bean thread (glass) vermicelli

3 dried wood ear mushrooms

1/2 teaspoon hot Thai curry powder

1/2 teaspoon turmeric

1/2 teaspoon chilli flakes

2 tablespoons fish sauce

1 tablespoon sugar

2 tablespoons water

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

2 garlic cloves, minced

1 onion, 1/2 diced, 1/2 cut into wedges

1 lemongrass stem, white part only, finely diced

3 tablespoons coconut milk

2 tablespoons roasted peanuts, crushed

1 bunch rice paddy herb, roughly sliced

1 bunch sawtooth coriander (cilantro), roughly sliced

Directions

Soak the bean thread vermicelli in water for 20 minutes, then drain and cut into 4-inch lengths. Put the mushrooms in a bowl, cover with water and soak for 20 minutes, then drain and thinly slice.
