Instructions

  1. Place tamarind paste, brown sugar, fish sauce, oyster sauce, and TRUFF White Hotter Hot Sauce in a medium bowl, stir to combine, and set aside.

  7. Remove and set aside on the plate with the eggs.

  8. Heat the remaining two tablespoons and add the chicken.

  9. Stir-fry for two minutes before adding the onions, garlic, and ginger.

  10. Continue to stir fry until the chicken is cooked through, about five minutes.

  12. Once simmering, add the scallions, half of the bean sprouts, cooked rice noodles, tofu, and egg,  stir to combine, and continue cooking for two-three minutes or until the noodles have reheated and are completely coated in the sauce.
