Ingredients
  

  • 2-3 stalks lemongrass
  • 1 small onion
  • 1 piece of ginger about thumb sized
  • 1-2 garlic cloves
  • 1 carrot
  • 1 bunch of cilantro
  • 250 g noodles
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • pinch of chili flakes

Toppings

  • 1 lime cut in halves
  • 1-2 tablespoons fried shallots

Instructions
 

  • First, gather all your ingredients and prepare them in the right amounts. That makes it so much easier and more fun and you're less likely to forget anything. 
  • Remove the root, green parts, and tough outer layers of the lemongrass. Finely chop the white part with the purple rings and set it aside.
  • Chop the onion and ginger finely, peel the garlic, and slice the carrots into thin slices about 5mm thick. If you’re not using a garlic press, finely chop the garlic as well.
  • Bring a medium-sized pot of water with about 1 teaspoon of salt to a boil for the noodles.
  • Wash and dry the cilantro, ideally using a salad spinner. Pick off the leaves and set them aside for later.
  • Add the noodles to the boiling water, reduce the heat, and cook according to the package instructions.
  • Mix soy sauce and maple syrup in a large bowl, and add chili flakes.
  • Heat a large pan, add the vegetable oil, and fry the carrot slices over medium-high heat for about 2-3 minutes. Add the onion and ginger, lightly brown everything, stirring occasionally, then add the garlic.
  • Drain the noodles, toss them in the bowl with the sauce mixture, and mix well. Then add everything to the pan, and stir-fry for a few more minutes over moderate heat, stirring regularly.
  • Sprinkle the lemongrass over everything and stir well again.
  • Serve with lime for squeezing, cilantro leaves, and fried shallots.
