Note
For a richer flavor, save the shrimp shells and heads to make a quick seafood stock before starting the soup.
Traditional Singapore noodles often include a touch of curry powder or chili paste for authentic spice; adjust according to your heat preference.
If you don't have cooked pork on hand, thinly sliced raw pork loin can be stir-fried with the aromatics until cooked through.
Bean sprouts cook very quickly; add them at the end to maintain their crunch and fresh texture.
This dish is best served hot. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
