   4       oz           Rice vermicelli
                        -----SYRUP-----
     1/4   c            Water

     1/4   c            Vegetable oil
   2       tb           Onions, chopped
   1       tb           Garlic, chopped
   1       tb           Tomato paste
   3       tb           Soy sauce
                        -----TO FINISH-----
     1/2   c            Bean sprouts
   1       tb           Cilantro leaves, chopped
   2       ea           Green onions, diced
   1       t            Red pepper flakes, optional
                        Lemon wedges

  Heat the oil to very hot.  Drop a handful of uncooked
  noodles into the hot oil.  They will immediately puff
  up to several times their size.  Turn them over &
  quickly fry the other side.  The entire process only
  takes a few seconds.  Do not let the noodles brown.
  Drain on paper towels. Make the SYRUP by combining the
  water & tamarind water with sugar in a small pot.
  Cook over medium heat until it thickens. Prepare the
  SEASONINGS by heating 1 tb vegetable oil in a wok or
  skillet. Add the onion & garlic & stir-fry until
  lightly browned. Add the tomato paste & soy sauce &
  stir-fry a further 3 minutes. Clean the bean sprouts &
  remove the roots if you want. Place the noodles in a
  large bowl & pour the SYRUP & SEASONINGS mixture over
  them at once & mix thoroughly with your hands. Add the
  bean sprouts, cilantro & green onions & mix again,
  being careful not to break the noodles into too small
  pieces.  Sprinkle with the red pepper flakes if
  desired & serve with the lemon wedges.
