- 1 lb lean pork, fat trimmed
- 1 lb small shrimp, shelled
- 3 cloves garlic, minced

- 1/4 cup sesame oil or 1/4 cup vegetable oil (may be substituted)
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 1 lb rice noodles (or bean threads)
- Start by soaking rice stick noodles in warm water for 15 minutes or until softened, then drain.
- Bring chicken, pork and 1-1/2 cups water to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer 15 minutes.
- Remove from heat; shred the meat into small pieces- reserve the water.
- (A sturdy mixer such as a Kitchen Aid can be handy in shredding meat using the whisk attachment).
- Heat oil in a large, wide saute pan.
- Saute garlic and onion in oil until onion is translucent.
- Add shredded meat, shrimp and soy sauce and stir-fry 5 minutes.
- Over high heat, add cabbage, carrots, salt, pepper and 1 cup of broth.
- Stir fry for an additional 2 minutes.
- Reduce heat to low and add rice noodles, tossing gently (wooden spoons work best) until cooked through and well blended, approximately 3 minutes.
- If the mixture seems dry, add more broth.
- Serve immediately with soy sauce.
