Kuay Tiew Lui Suan - Thai Garden Noodle

This dish has become a favorite of mine, but, alas its vegetarian week so I can't have it.  In CNNgo.com there is a great article about this gem of a dish- light, healthy and delicious.

In almost any hawker market around town there always some vendor rolling up this delicious noodle wrap.   I have seen pork, chicken, tuna, mushroom, firm tofu, crab stick, bamboo and mixed.  I seen it roll up into bite sized pieces and cut up like the pictures below.  The secret is in the sauce.
