Preparation
Soak the Noodles
In a large bowl, soak the rice noodles in hot water for about 30 minutes or until softened. Drain and set aside.
Prepare the Sauce
In a small bowl, mix the fish sauce, tamarind paste, sugar, and soy sauce until well combined. Set aside.
Cooking
Cook the Shrimp
In a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat, add a splash of oil. Once hot, add the shrimp and cook until pink and opaque (about 2-3 minutes). Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Sauté the Vegetables
Add a little more oil to the skillet if necessary. Add minced garlic and chopped green onions, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant.
