Ingredients

5 tablespoons fish sauce
4 tablespoons ketchup
4 tablespoons lemon juice
3 tablespoons Sriracha sauce or spicy sauce of your choice
2 tablespoons sesame oil
2 tablespoons honey
7 ounces thin rice vermicelli dry
12 ounces scallops patted dry with paper towels
½ teaspoon salt
3 cloves garlic minnced
1 yellow bell pepper thinly sliced
1 red bell pepper thinly sliced
1½ cup vegetable broth or broth of your choice

Optional toppings:

Fried onion
Cilantro leaves
More Sriracha or spicy sauce to drizzle
Lime wedges

Instructions

Combine the fish sauce, ketchup, lemon juice, Sriracha, sesame oil, honey in a cup and mix well. Set aside.
Place the vermicelli in a large bowl and cover with boiling water. Let soak for 2 minutes or so until they are cooked half way. Cool down under cold running water to prevent the noodles cooking further. Drain well.
Heat up some cooking oil in a pan and sear the scallops, sprinkling salt on both sides. Transfer them to a plate.
Using the same pan, cook the garlic for 30 seconds (add more oil if necessary). Add in the bell peppers and vegetable broth. Scrape off any burned bits left at the bottom of the pan.
Add the seasoning mix (from step 1) into the pan and bring to a boil.
Add in the cooked vermicelli and scallops and stir fast with tongs or chopsticks.
Top with fried onion, lime wedges, cilantro and drizzle more Sriracha if desired.
