I’m still waiting for my brand new spankin camera to arrive in the mail so I’m hailing back to some old dishes I never posted about. A while back my friends and I headed to Viet Noodle Bar in Atwater for a leisurely weekend lunch. I had a delicious bowl of dill & turmeric fish noodle. The fish is marinated in soymilk with turmeric. Hence the beautiful golden hue. I rather enjoyed this light and clean Hanoi-style noodle dish so I decided to make a quickie version at home with shrimp. I marinated peeled and deveined shrimp with turmeric, soymilk, garlic, and fish sauce. I boiled some rice stick noodles which never softened up enough for my taste but did its job anyhow.
However the shrimps were so plump and tasty. I topped the shrimp and noodles with crispy fried shallots, refreshing cilantro, and toasted peanuts. I also made a little sauce with minced Thai chili peppers, fish sauce, garlic, and lime juice. I need my spice you know. Delicious.
yom! what camera did you end up buying?
“delicious” and “dill” in the same sentence? Fo reals?
