The Method

1
Cook the rice noodles according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
2
Prepare the lemongrass drizzle: In a small saucepan, combine minced lemongrass, grated ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce, lime juice, maple syrup, and chili flakes (if using). Heat gently over low heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened. Add water to adjust to desired consistency.
3
Crumble the black pudding and fry in a pan over medium heat until crispy and heated through.
4
Fry the eggs to your liking (sunny-side up or over easy are recommended).
5
Assemble the bowls: Place cooked rice noodles in a bowl. Top with crumbled black pudding, fried egg, spring onions, coriander, mint, and bean sprouts (if using).
6
Drizzle generously with the lemongrass drizzle and serve immediately.

Chef's Tips

For a spicier kick, add a finely chopped chili to the lemongrass drizzle.

Garnish with a wedge of lime for extra zing.

You can add other toppings like pickled carrots or shredded cucumber for added texture and flavor.

If you don't have rice noodles, you can substitute with another type of noodle, such as egg noodles or soba noodles.
