*** There is no substitutions to fish sauce, it can be purchased at any local food store. I normally get mine at Meijers in the traditional foods aisle. Do not get oyster sauce, nor clam sauce, but a labeled fish sauce.
Steps
1.Boil water in pot and put in the bean sprouts in boiling water for approximately 30 seconds then remove, and bean sprouts drain well. Set off to the side.
2.When the water returns to a boil then add noodles. Let the noodles cook for 3 to 5 minutes or until tender but firm; drain and rinse under cold water.
3. In a small bowl, beat the eggs and add a pinch of salt.
4. In another small bowl, stir together the lime juice, ketchup, brown sugar, and fish sauce in a separate bowl. Set aside for later use.
5. Heat the peanut oil in a wok/large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and let it fry for a few seconds. Then add the pepper flakes and grated carrots. Let it cook for one minute, then remove.
6.Again, add a little bit of peanut oil to the wok/large skillet. Add the beaten egg, and gently scramble.
7. When the eggs have set, pour in the sauce mixture, carrots, bean sprouts, noodles, peanuts, and green onions and toss together.
8. Serve Hot.
9. For more flavor, you can add the lemon juice before serving to each plate.
