Steps

  1. Rehydrate 50g vermicelli in hot water for about 15 minutes. [TIP!] Rehydrating in lukewarm water instead of cold water will make it rehydrate faster.
  2. Place peanuts to taste in a bag and crush finely with a wine bottle or similar. [TIP!] Crush coarsely if you want to retain texture, or finely if you want it well crushed. Other nuts like walnuts or almonds can also be used.
  3. Defrost 60g seafood mix by soaking it in saltwater (3% concentration, same as seawater).
  4. Prepare 25g garlic chives (3-4 stalks).
  5. Tear 40g pork loin into pieces, and remove any veins from the seafood mix if present.
  6. Heat 1 and 1/2 tbsp oil in a frying pan, add 1 egg, and stir-fry vigorously to create crumbles.
  7. Add the rehydrated 50g vermicelli and mix with the egg.
  8. Add 2 tsp fish sauce, 1 and 1/3 tsp oyster sauce, 2/3 tsp sugar, salt and pepper to taste, black pepper to taste, and 4 dashes MSG, then stir-fry.
  9. Add 4 tbsp vermicelli soaking liquid and 100g bean sprouts, then stir-fry.
  10. If more moisture is needed, add another 2 tbsp vermicelli soaking liquid (for a total of 6 tbsp). [TIP!] Do not overcook the bean sprouts to keep them crunchy.
  11. Taste and, finally, add a final drizzle of fish sauce, then turn off the heat.
  12. Serve on a plate, sprinkle with crushed peanuts to taste and Ichimi Togarashi to taste, and squeeze 1/8 lemon if desired.
