Instructions

7 cooking steps

  1. Heat 2 ½ cups of cooking oil in a wok or cooking pot. Once the oil reaches 350F, fry the vermicelli until it gets puffed and crispy. Remove from the pan and let the oil drip off. Arrange on a serving plate. Also arrange half of the topping ingredients around the plate.
  2. Make the sauce by heating the oil in a wok. Saute the white part of the green onion until it softens. Add the ground pork. Saute until it browns.
  3. Add the annatto powder and flour. Continue cooking while stirring for 1 minute.
  4. Pour the water into the wok. Bring it to a simmer.
  5. Add Knorr Shrimp Cube, smoked fish flakes, and anion powder. Continue to simmer while stirring for 3 to 5 minutes. Make sure to add more water if the sauce needs to be thinned down. Season with fish sauce and ground black pepper.
  6. Pour the sauce over the crispy noodles (Note: it is recommended to do this while the sauce is hot). Top with the remaining ingredients.
  7. Serve. Share and enjoy!
