Ingredients
- 60 g Egg noodles, dry

Method
- Heat the oil in a small pot, fry half the garlic and all the shallots until golden, then add the minced pork.
- Cook the pork for 5-6 minutes, breaking it up, until it is cooked through (74°C/165°F) and lightly browned.

- Bring the stock and water to a simmer in a separate pot, season lightly, and poach the shrimp in it for 2 minutes until pink; lift out the shrimp.
- Blanch the noodles and bean sprouts in the same simmering broth for 1-2 minutes, then divide between bowls.
