Note
For a vegan variation, omit the shrimp and eggs, and replace the fish sauce with soy sauce or tamari.
Ensure your wok is very hot before adding ingredients to prevent the noodles from becoming mushy.
If the noodles seem dry during cooking, add a tablespoon of water to help steam them slightly and distribute the sauce.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a pan with a splash of water.
Traditionally served with crushed peanuts, extra lime wedges, and chili flakes on the side for customization.
