- 1 whole Thai chili

In a mortar, pound the Thai chili and cilantro stems into a paste.
Pounding the dressing in a mortar
- fish sauce
- soy sauce
- lime juice
- thinly sliced lemongrass
- 2 packet dried chilies from the Mama seasoning pack
Add fish sauce, a touch of soy sauce and lots of lime juice, keeping it less salty than usual because the noodles are salty; add the sliced lemongrass and the dried chilies.
Seasoning the dressing less salty
- sweet Vidalia onions

Put the onions and tomatoes in a mixing bowl.
- broken Mama pieces
Break the noodles into about four pieces inside the bag and blanch in boiling water about 2 minutes without overcooking; fish them out, saving the water.
- shrimp
- ground pork
Blanch the shrimp in the same hot water about 30 seconds and fish them out; drain the water.
- garlic oil from the Mama packet
Saute the ground pork in the packet garlic oil, breaking it up, until done; keep the liquid it releases.
Pour the warm pork and its liquid over the onions and tomatoes to wilt and soften them; add the noodles and shrimp and pour the dressing over the noodles.
Tossing the salad
- Chinese celery
- cilantro leaves
Add the Chinese celery and a handful of cilantro leaves, mix, taste and adjust the seasoning.
