2 tablespoons fish sauce

Soak rice noodles in cold water 30 to 50 minutes, or until soft. Drain, and set aside.
Heat butter in a wok or large heavy skillet. Saute chicken until browned. Remove, and set aside. Heat oil in wok over medium-high heat. Crack eggs into hot oil, and cook until firm. Stir in chicken, and cook for 5 minutes. Add softened noodles, and vinegar, fish sauce, sugar and red pepper. Adjust seasonings to taste. Mix while cooking, until noodles are tender. Add bean sprouts, and mix for 3 minutes.

Answer 2

cut the quorn sausages into diagonal slices and shallow fry in oil. FIrst, put some garlic and a little bit of red chili, salt and roasemary in the pan with the oil, before the quorn. When the garlic is soft, and the oil is nice and fragrant (this should take 5 minutes to sautee gently) then add some pine nuts or walnuts, and the quorn. Continue to sautee gently, then add some tomato puree, or a half can of dived crushed tomatoes ( whole canned tomatoes taste awful, as do fresh ones, so if you haven't got puree or crushed toms, use dried toms and a bit of veg stock in the same pan as the quorn. This is the sauce for the pasta. You can add a can of broth and simmer it down, or keep the quorn and tomato sauce gently simmering. Then cook the pasta. You can make pasta with chickpeas, if all that sounds complicated. Cook the pasta. Heat a drained can of chickpeas. Add rosemary, oregano, marjoram and lemon juice, olive oil, pine nuts and salt and pepper to a pan, and heat through. The chickpea mixture is a quite traditional pasta dish. Most pasta dishes don't have a really thick sauce. When you pour the chickpeas on the pasta, add lemon wedges, and some fresh chopped parsley.
