Step 1
Cook the 8 oz rice noodles according to package directions until tender, about 5-7 minutes. Drain, rinse with cold water, and set aside.
Step 2
Season the 0.5 lb shrimp and 0.5 lb pork with salt and pepper. Heat a large skillet over high heat, add 1 tbsp oil, and cook the pork until browned, about 3 minutes. Add the shrimp and cook until pink and opaque, about 2 minutes more.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk the juice of 2 limes with 1 tbsp fish sauce and 1 tsp sugar (if you have them) to make a dressing.
Step 4
In a large bowl, toss the noodles with the cooked pork and shrimp, 1 sliced red onion, and 1 cup fresh herbs. Drizzle with the dressing and toss again. Serve immediately.
Step 5
For extra crunch, add crushed peanuts or fried shallots on top if you have them.
