Stir-fried Flat Glass Noodle with Squid

I came across an interesting Thai cookbook (The recipes are not authentic – kind of modern Thai cooking) and found this dish interesting. So, I managed to experiment. The outcome wasn’t too bad. I think I will need to go round this dish a few times to get it even better.

Note: Squid is good at times but its not for everyday eating – too much of cholesterol.
