Method
- Loosen the fresh noodles and pat away excess moisture.
- Heat half the oil in a wide pan and spread the noodles in a thin layer.
- Leave them undisturbed in short intervals, turning sections, until some strands are golden and crisp while others remain chewy; transfer to a platter.
- Add remaining oil and cook garlic and onion until fragrant, then brown the pork.
- Add shrimp and cook only until pink; remove it temporarily.
- Pour in stock, soy sauce, and fish sauce and simmer 3 minutes, then add carrot and cabbage until crisp-tender.
- Return the shrimp, taste the sauce, and pour it immediately over the toasted noodles.
- Finish with fried garlic, spring onions, and calamansi and serve before all the crisp sections soften.
