Glass noodles (Tang Hoon)
4 tbsp of Thai fish sauce

7 simple steps
1.Soak the vermicelli and boil them until they are soft.

3.For the sauce, freshly squeezed fresh lemon juice with the sugar and Thai fish sauce you’ve prepared.
4.Add the cut onions, celery and chilli into the sauce and mix well.
5.Now you can leave the sauce aside and prepare to boil the minced pork and prawn!
6.Mix in the chilled vermicelli, and VOILA!
