Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz package vermicelli noodles
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 pound pork tenderloin, thinly sliced into small pieces
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
  • 2 shallots, minced
  • 2 cups finely sliced mixed vegetables (e.g., carrots, cabbage, green beans)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 pound raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 3/4 cup chicken broth

Method
 

  1. Soak the vermicelli noodles in warm water for 10 minutes, then drain and set aside.
  2. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add sliced pork tenderloin, minced shallots, and salt. Cook, stirring, until the pork is browned. Add sugar and cook for another 2-3 minutes until caramelized.
  3. Add the minced garlic and finely sliced mixed vegetables to the skillet. Sauté for 3-5 minutes until the vegetables are just starting to soften.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth. Add the drained vermicelli noodles and raw shrimp.
  5. Toss everything together gently, ensuring the noodles and shrimp are submerged in the broth.
  6. Simmer for 5-10 minutes, tossing occasionally, until most of the broth is absorbed and the shrimp are cooked through and pink.

Notes

- Use good quality vermicelli noodles for the best texture.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the pork to ensure proper browning.
- Adjust the amount of sugar and salt to your personal preference.
- Add a splash of soy sauce or oyster sauce for extra umami.
