i'm pretty **** sure you'd gobble this like i did, wolfish; it's a reinvention of the original: sweet & sour... but this is sweet & salty. mmm... rice noodles! rice nnn! that almost see-through squids of tangles... not egg noodles! not egg noodles! rice! rice noodles! and then we fry some bacon, add a bit of mushrooms... a few pinches of paprika... and then the magic happens... honey.... followed up by some soy sauce... mmm, keep frying... some pepper... then nicely cut cherry tomatoes to break apart the sweet from the salty with some acidity, and then some parsley to garnish. woof! went down like a storm, it probably took me less time to down the bowl of noodles than i took to cook it... but what an ingenious concept, rather than the classic sweet & sour... sweet & salty... comrade mao would have approved: just think how simple it sounds... it's not exactly, hoisin sauce, honey soy sauce cherry tomatoes: oh **** me... you need a buffer zone... some sort of acidity... if you were going to bottle it i'm sure citric salt would do the job... but in real time? when you're actually conjuring such a recipe? cherry tomatoes... and no... egg noodles won't do... they're too heavy, they won't soak up the juices... so you need the squid-like tentacles of rice noodles... and yes, fry the concoction in some chili infused olive oil. a microcosmos in under 15 minutes... the universe disappears... and the idea of a polyverse is but a ****; and a burp half an hour later.
