Steps

1

Roast the peanuts, dried shrimp, and dried chilies. Set aside.
2

Fry the garlic and shallots until golden and fragrant.
3

Bring water to a boil, add a pinch of salt, and cook the glass noodles until just translucent. Be careful not to overcook. Drain and rinse with room temperature water, then set aside to drain well.
4

Cook the ground pork in a pan with as little water as possible, or none at all, so it doesn’t get watery. Cook just until done.
5

Prepare the salad dressing by mixing lime juice, fish sauce, coconut sugar, and a pinch of MSG (optional). Stir until everything is dissolved. Add sliced shallots, cilantro stems (save the leaves for later), and the white part of the green onion. Mix well.
6

Add some of the fried chilies to the dressing, saving the rest for garnish. Add the sliced fresh red chilies. Mix everything together, then add the cooked ground pork and toss to combine. Add the well-drained glass noodles and mix until the noodles are well coated with the dressing.
7

Once the noodles are well mixed with the dressing, add the roasted peanuts, fried dried shrimp, fried shallots, and fried garlic. Toss everything together, reserving a little of each for garnish. Add the green onion and cilantro leaves and mix again.
8

To serve, place the glass noodles on a plate, then top with the reserved crispy toppings. Finish by sprinkling the remaining roasted and fried ingredients on top.
