Alsatian Noodles (Pad Alsacien)
Serves 4
Deborah’s remarks: We use these prep notes as a template for messing around. A lot. We swap out veggies with a mighty scoop. We swap out protein with the same energy. Garbanzos or shrimp for the bacon. Jarred horseradish for the fresh. We even tried basil Pad Thai once. Have your way with it and thanks, Rachel.

Les petites astuces -- tips
  1. You can use almost any vegetable you have in the fridge: bell peppers, zucchini, eggplants, broccoli . . . just make sure to cut them finely, so they cook quickly.
  2. If you can't find fresh horseradish, use 1 tbsp jarred grated horseradish.
