Pad Thai

Ingredients

• 1/3 cup cooking oil
• 1 pound lean beef, thinly sliced
• Two eggs
• One medium yellow or white onion (with one half thinly sliced and one half chopped)
• 2 cups cooked rice noodles (not the skinny ones — the ones that are more the size of linguine or fettuccine)
• 3 tablespoons sugar
• 2/3 cup oyster sauce
• 1/3 cup rice wine vinegar
• 1/4 cup peanuts, chopped or pounded (I prefer dry roasted)
• 1/2 cup fresh mung bean sprouts, rinsed
• 1/2 cup red bell pepper, sliced thinly for garnish
