Elaboració

Pas a pas

1
Heat the vegetable oil in a large wok or deep pot over medium-high heat until it reaches about 180°C (350°F).
Uns 5 min
Nota de cuina: Test the oil temperature by dropping a small piece of noodle; it should puff up immediately.
2
Fry the rice vermicelli noodles in batches, using tongs to separate them, until they puff up and turn crispy, about 10-15 seconds per batch. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Uns 5 min
Nota de cuina: Do not overcrowd the pot; fry in small portions for best results.
3
Carefully remove most of the oil from the wok, leaving just enough to coat the bottom, then reduce the heat to medium.
Uns 1 min
4
Add the tofu cubes to the wok and fry until golden brown and slightly crispy, then remove and set aside.
Uns 3 min
5
Add the shrimp to the wok and cook until pink and opaque, then remove and set aside with the tofu.
Uns 2 min
Nota de cuina: Avoid overcooking the shrimp to keep them tender.
6
In the same wok, add the minced garlic and chopped shallot, and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Uns 1 min
7
Stir in the fish sauce, rice vinegar, palm sugar, tamarind paste, orange zest, and optional chili flakes. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer, stirring until the sugar dissolves and the sauce slightly thickens, about 2-3 minutes.
Uns 3 min
Nota de cuina: Taste the sauce and adjust the sweetness, sourness, and saltiness to your preference.
8
Return the cooked tofu and shrimp to the wok with the sauce, tossing to coat evenly.
Uns 1 min
9
Add the crispy fried noodles to the wok and gently toss to combine everything, ensuring the noodles are well coated with the sauce.
Uns 1 min
Nota de cuina: Work quickly to avoid the noodles becoming soggy.
10
Transfer the mee krob to a serving platter. Garnish with fresh bean sprouts, sliced green onions, and lime wedges.
Uns 1 min
Nota de cuina: Serve immediately to enjoy the crispiness of the noodles.
