Fish sauce, according to the ingredients on the bottle, it has anchovies, sugar, and salt. The 77% of fish extract definitely gives this fish sauce a strong...aroma. A little goes a long way. Thai and Vietnamese cooks use this in their stir fries, and make dipping sauces out of it. In fact, in many Thai/Viet restaurants have this stuff laying around like American joints have bottles of ketchup on their table. I've had this bottle for about 3 months now and it still looks like its new. If you decide to buy some, try to find the smallest bottle you can find.
This is a type of pasta that is commonly used in many types of Asian cooking. It's actually a huge sheet soft pasta made out of rice flour that's cut into centimeter strips. Its already precooked, but people typically cook it again to add flavor to the noodles. If you are familiar with dim sum, this is the same type of rice wrapper that they use for the dish where they wrap pork, beef or shrimp with the rice paper and drizzle a yummy, sweet soy sauce over everything. I am going to make a pad see ew with this tonight.
