Directions

1
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the flat rice stick noodles and cook for about 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent sticking.
2
Drain the noodles immediately in a colander and rinse thoroughly with cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
3
While the noodles cook, slice the pork loin into thin julienne strips. Slice the fresh red chilies if desired.
4
Heat the vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat.
5
Add the crushed garlic and chopped onion to the wok. Stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and golden brown.
6
Add the pork strips, soaked dried shrimp (with their soaking water), and fresh chilies to the wok.
7
Stir-fry the pork and shrimp mixture for about 5 minutes, or until the pork is cooked through and lightly browned.
8
Add the blanched noodles, bean sprouts, sugar, fish sauce, salt, lime juice, ketchup, and ground black pepper to the wok.
9
Toss everything together vigorously for 2 minutes, ensuring the noodles are well-coated with the sauce and ingredients are evenly distributed.
10
Transfer the stir-fried noodles to a large serving platter.
11
Garnish generously with chopped green onion, fresh coriander, and crushed roasted peanuts before serving.
