Step 1
Pour the broth into a large pot and bring it to a boil over high heat, about 5 minutes. You will see large bubbles rapidly breaking on the surface.
Step 2
Add the tamarind paste and fish sauce to the boiling broth, stirring for 30 seconds until dissolved. The broth should smell sour and savory.
Step 3
Add the noodles and stir once with a wooden spoon to separate them, about 15 seconds. Return the broth to a boil.
Step 4
Cook the noodles at a rolling boil for 5 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until they are tender but still slightly firm when you bite one.
Step 5
Add the shrimp and cooked pork to the pot and stir once. Cook at a medium boil for 3 minutes until the shrimp are firm and pink on all sides.
Step 6
Pour the soup into two bowls, dividing the noodles, shrimp, and pork evenly between them.
Step 7
Scatter the chopped herbs over the top of each bowl and serve immediately while hot.
