INSTRUCTIONS

FOR GARNISH
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.
Serves 8 as a pasta course, or 4 as a main course
