Steps:

• Soak the dried rice noodles in a bowl of very warm (110F) water and soak until they're pliable but still rather firm, about 30 minutes. Drain in a colander - no need to pat dry. Meanwhile prep the rest of the ingredients.
• In a small bowl, combine the fish sauce, sugar, soy sauce, hoisin sauce and chile-garlic sauce.
• Once the noodles are drained, heat the oil in a large (12-inch) skillet or stir-fry pan over high heat until very hot.
• Add the garlic, stir and immediately add the shrimp. Stir-fry until the shrimp turn pink and firm, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Add the fish sauce mixture. Stir to mix for about 20 seconds, then add the chile slivers and the noodles. Stir-fry until the noodles are tender and the liquid is absorbed, 1 to 2 minutes. If the noodles are too firm, add 1 tablespoon of water and cook another minute.
• Add the bean sprouts and stir-fry until they're slightly limp, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter or individual plates, and garnish with the peanuts, cilantro and mint.
• Serve immediately, with lime wedges on the side.

Steps:

• Bring 3 or 4 quarts water to a boil in a large pot, add about a tablespoon of salt and the greens. Cook 30 seconds only, and immediately transfer to a bowl of ice water, using a slotted spoon or deep-fry skimmer. Drain, squeeze out water and chop coarsely. Set aside. Bring the water back to a boil, add the cabbage, blanch 30 seconds and transfer to the ice water. Drain and set aside.
• Bring the water back to a boil and add the noodles. Cook 2 minutes, drain, shake off excess water, toss with a tablespoon of the oil, and set aside.
• In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, salt, sugar, and the chile paste. Stir to dissolve the sugar and salt and set aside.

NONYA HOKKIEN STIR-FRIED NOODLES

Steps:

• Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Add the noodles and cook just until tender, 1½ minutes. Drain well, rinse under water and drain again.
• Whisk the eggs in a bowl and add a pinch of salt. Brush ½ teaspoon oil on a nonstick frying pan and set over medium-low heat. When the oil is hot, pour in the eggs and tilt the pan so that the eggs form a thin and even film. Cook until firmly set, 4 to 5 minutes. With a spatula, ease the omelette off the pan and flip onto a cutting board. When the omelette is cool enough to handle, gently roll it and slice into thin strips, cutting longer strips in half.
• Heat a large wok or very large skillet over medium-high and add the remaining ¼ cup oil. Add half of the sliced shallots and continuously stir until they are crispy and light golden brown, about 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and transfer the fried shallots using a slotted spoon to a paper-towel-lined plate, and save for garnish.
• Heat the wok with the oil over medium and add the fermented soybean paste, garlic, and remaining shallots. Stir until the mixture is fragrant, about 40 seconds. Add the pork, shrimp and 1 cup chicken broth. Raise the heat to high and bring to a boil.
• Add the mustard greens, lo mein noodles and bean sprouts. Toss well to combine, and cook until the pork and shrimp are cooked through, about 3 minutes. There should barely be any broth left, but if you prefer a soupier consistency, add up to 1 cup more stock. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and the white pepper, then taste and season with more if you'd like. Transfer to a serving platter.
• To serve, garnish with the egg strips, fried shallots, chiles and cilantro. The noodles are best enjoyed with a side of sambal belacan.
