--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  11      ounces        dried rice stick noodles  -- * see note
   3      teaspoons     sugar
     1/4  cup           nam pla (Thai fish sauce)
   1      tablespoon    ketchup
   3      teaspoons     sriracha chili sauce
   1 1/4  tablespoons   chopped garlic
   4      tablespoons   vegetable oil
  10      ounces        small shrimp  -- peeled and cooked
   7      ounces        fresh bean sprouts

                        GARNISH
   3      teaspoons     dried shrimp
   3      tablespoons   chopped scallions
   2      tablespoons   chopped roasted peanuts
   1      tablespoon    granulated white sugar
   4                    garlic chives -- cut in 1.5" lengths
                        cilantro sprigs
                        lime wedges

Soak the noodles in hot water for at least 12 minutes to soften, then
drain well.  Combine the sugar, fish sauce, ketchup, and chili sauce in a
small bowl.

Prepare the garnish ingredients.  Place the dried shrimp in a blender or
spice grinder and grind until finely shredded.  Arrange the garnishes on a
plate to serve with the noodles.

Fry the garlic in the oil over medium heat until very aromatic, about 1
minute.  Add the shrimp and fry for 40 seconds.  Pour in the sauce mixture
and cook briefly, then add the noodles and toss until thoroughly coated
with the sauce.  Add half the bean sprouts and cook, continuously tossing
and stirring, until the bean sprouts have softened.

Transfer to a platter, scattering the remaining bean sprouts over the top=2E
 Serve with the platter of garnishes, allowing guests to add what they
want, to taste.
