Note
Soak the noodles according to package instructions; do not over-soak as they will continue to cook in the wok.
For a vegan version, omit the eggs and shrimp, and use soy sauce or tamari instead of fish sauce.
Ground dried shrimp adds a deep umami flavor; substitute with extra fish sauce or omit if unavailable.
Serve immediately while hot for the best texture. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days but are best reheated in a pan with a splash of water to restore moisture.
