Wok-tossed noodles seared over ferocious heat with spring onions, beansprouts, aromatic garlic, and savoury seasoned sauce.
Soak the vermicelli in warm water until pliable, then drain well.
Dissolve the sugar in the fish sauce and lime juice, and stir in the garlic.
Heat the oil in a wide pan and pan-fry the vermicelli in a flat cake until crisp and golden underneath.
Flip and fry until both sides are golden and crisp.
Spoon over the sauce and toss to soften and coat the noodles.
Top with the sliced spring onions, chili, and black pepper, and serve as a side.
