  1. Cook 8 oz rice noodles according to package directions until tender. Drain and set aside.

  3. Bowl 1: 4 cloves garlic, minced. Bowl 2: 2-3 red chilies, thinly sliced (adjust to your spice preference).
  4. Bowl 3: 1 tbsp sugar, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper.
  5. Bowl 4: 2 tbsp fish sauce, 1 tbsp soy sauce.
  6. Heat 2 tbsp oil in a wok or large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic.
  7. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant and lightly golden. Add sliced chilies and stir-fry for another 30 seconds.
  8. Add 8 oz pork (or your choice of meat, cut into bite-sized pieces). Stir-fry until browned, breaking up any lumps.
  9. Sprinkle sugar mixture over the pork and toss to combine.
  10. Pour in the fish sauce and soy sauce mixture. Stir-fry for 1 minute, or until the sauce slightly thickens.
  11. Add the cooked rice noodles to the wok. Toss to coat evenly with the meat and sauce, breaking up any clumps.
