 Directions

FOR GARNISH
Finely minced dried shrimp
Fresh cilantro sprigs
Lemon or lime wedges

In a bowl, cover the noodles in lukewarm water and let stand to soften,
about 15 minutes for fresh noodles or about 30 minutes for dry noodles.
Drain and cut into 6-inch lengths, if desired. Set aside.

In a small bowl, combine the fish sauce, vinegar, sugar, and paprika,
catsup, or tomato paste. Set aside.

Heat a wok or saute pan over high heat. Add the oil and swirl to coat the
pan. Add the pork or chicken, garlic, and chili and stir-fry for 1 minute.
Stir in the drained noodles and the reserved fish sauce mixture and
stir-fry about 30 seconds. Push the noodles to one side, pour in about a
tablespoon more oil, if necessary, and add the eggs; cook just until
slightly set, then break them up. Add the shrimp and stir-fry just until
they turn pink. Add most of the bean sprouts, the green onion, and 1/4 cup
of the peanuts and stir-fry until the sprouts and onions are crisp-tender,
1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and transfer to a serving plate.

Sprinkle with the chopped cilantro, remaining 1/4 cup peanuts, and dried
shrimp. Garnish with the remaining bean sprouts, cilantro sprigs, and
lemon or lime wedges, and serve immediately. Diners squeeze lemon or lime
juice to taste.
