Eversince DH tasted my mom's version of the Thai Noodle Salad, he would always asks me took cook one for him. But, I do not oblige because I do not cook it well as how my mom would prepare it. Last father's day however, I realized that instead of giving him cohiba cigars, surprising him with a video montage + dinner of steak, thai noodle salad and cupcakes would make his day.

This is actually an easy version.
You will need a sotanghon or any thai noodle as your main ingredient.

Saute the ground beef with onions and garlic, season it the way you want until it is soft. Put more water. Remove the beef and boil the noodle in the same water used in cooking the beef for that added taste. Drain when cooked. Separate.

Make the sauce. I do not have exact measurements for this so just mix all these ingredients depending on your taste. Patis (fish sauce), onion leaves, lime (not lemon or kalamansi), chili powder and pepper. Then mix the sauce with the beef and noodles. Garnish with more onion leaves, add tofu preferrably. Then serve.
