How to cook it
-
Soak the glass noodles in hot water until pliable, about 8 minutes, then drain and snip into shorter lengths with scissors.
-
Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the ground pork, breaking it up, until just cooked through, about 3 minutes, then scoop out with a slotted spoon.
-
In the same water, poach the shrimp until pink, about 2 minutes, then drain both and let cool slightly.
-
Pound or mince the garlic and chilies together.
-
Whisk the fish sauce, lime juice, and sugar with the garlic and chili into a dressing.
-
Toss the drained noodles with the dressing while they are still a little warm so they absorb the flavor.
-
Add the pork, shrimp, sliced shallots, tomato wedges, and sliced celery, and toss gently to combine.
-
Taste and adjust the balance of sour, salty, and sweet, then finish with cilantro and serve at room temperature.
