Interchoodle Canoodle

Serves 4-5 Comfortably

8oz Bean Thread Otherwise known as Chinese vermicelli or Cellophane noodles.
3 tsp Sesame oil
⅓ cup White vinegar
½ cup Kecap Manis Regular Soy Sauce will do if that's all you have.
2 tsp Red pepper flakes Or ½ tsp Sriracha Chilli sauce. Will NOT make the noodles "hot" add more/less to taste.
2 tsp Sugar
1½ tsp Mediterranean spice paste Or whatever you have on hand as long as it has plenty of garlic and coriander.
1 cob Corn
1 head Red Coral Lettuce or similar sweet, fancy lettuce. (In photos I used Silverbeet; Didn't taste as good.)
1 can Tuna (425g) Can also use Poached Chicken or another protein of your choice. (In photos I used 500g Pork; YUM!)

L-R Sugar, Sriracha Sauce, Mediterranean Herbs, Vinegar, Kecap Manis, Bean Thread, Silverbeet and Corn.

In a large saucepan boil water, once it is at a rapid boil add the noodles and follow packet directions. It should only take about 2 minutes. Drain noodles and let sit in a bowl with cold water.
Remove corn from the cob, Boil in rapidly boiling water. this will only take a few minutes. Taste a kernal to check on their progress. Drain and allow to cool.

If using pork... Rinse one of your saucepans and throw it back on to boil, Once at rapid boil throw in single serves of sliced pork. Boil for about 5 minutes, Drain and place on plate. (I keep them warm in the oven.) Once all of the pork is done, Fry for a few minutes until brown. Only add a tiny amount of oil if any and you will end up with mouth-watering, tender pork.

In a large bowl combine the oil, vinegar, kecap manis, red pepper flakes, sugar and garlic paste. Mix until sugar dissolves.

Shred lettuce leaves into quarters. You don't need to be precise just remember you want them big enough that they wont just wilt and disappear in the meal but not so large as they should be bite sized.

Toss lettuce and corn through sauce mix.

Drain noodles again and cut into manageable lengths. Toss into the bowl with the other ingredients. Serve on plates. Top with drained, flaked Tuna. (Pork or chicken.)

Serve cold or at room temperature.
