Ingredients
Noodles
- 1 package Egg Noodles dried
Produce
Proteins & Flavorings
- 1 Tbsp Ngapi fish paste, or to taste
- 1/2 cup Tamarind Paste
- 2 tsp Chili Flakes fried
- 1 1/2 tsp Salt or to taste
Other
- 2 Tbsp Sesame Oil
- 2 Potatoes boiled, sliced
- 2 Eggs boiled, sliced
Instructions
- Cook the egg noodles according to package directions until tender. Drain and set aside.
- Peel the raw papaya and grate it. Set aside.
- Heat the sesame oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the sliced potatoes and fry until golden brown and slightly crispy. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- In the same pan, sauté the chopped onions and garlic until softened and fragrant. This builds a flavorful base for the dish.
- Add the cooked noodles to the pan and toss gently to combine with the onion and garlic mixture. This helps the noodles absorb the aromatic flavors.
- Remove the pan from the heat. To serve, arrange the noodles in bowls.
- Top with the grated papaya, fried potatoes, sliced eggs, ngapi (fish paste), chili flakes, tamarind paste, and sliced onions. The combination of flavors and textures makes this dish a true delight.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- Add salt cautiously, as ngapi (fermented fish paste) is already salty.
- Rinse the noodles in cold water after boiling to prevent clumping and maintain a chewy texture.
- For a vegan version, omit fish sauce and animal-based toppings, and use mushroom soy sauce for umami.
Expert Tips
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of chili flakes or a dash of your favorite hot sauce to the Latto.
- Fresh herbs like cilantro, mint, and basil can brighten the flavors and add a refreshing element.
- Balance the salty and tangy flavors with a squeeze of lime juice just before serving.
Storage Instructions
- Store leftover Latto in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The noodles may absorb some of the sauce, so add a splash of water or broth when reheating to loosen them up.
