Ingredients
- 60 g Egg noodles, dry
- 30 g Rice noodles, dry
- 60 g Shrimp, raw
- 30 g Squid, raw
- 25 g Pork belly, raw
- 50 g Eggs, whole, raw
- 8 g Garlic, raw
- 5 g Fish sauce
- 80 g Chicken stock, homemade
- 30 g Bean sprouts, raw
- 10 g Vegetable oil
- 5 g Chives, fresh
Method
- Soak the rice vermicelli in warm water for 10 minutes until pliable, and boil the egg noodles for 1 minute; drain both well.
- Peel the shrimp (keep them whole) and slice the squid and pork belly thinly.
- Heat the oil in a wok and fry the garlic and pork belly for 2 minutes until the pork starts to brown.
- Add the shrimp and squid and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until just cooked through, then push to the side.
- Crack in the egg, scramble briefly, then add both noodles and the stock, and toss well.
- Simmer, tossing often, for 4-5 minutes so the noodles soak up the stock and turn slightly sticky, then season with the fish sauce.
- Stir through the bean sprouts and chives for the last 30 seconds and serve hot with a wedge of lime and chilli sauce on the side.
