Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Soak the dry rice noodles in a large bowl with room-temperature water for 20 to 30 minutes until soft.
  2. Beat the eggs in a separate bowl until fully combined and set aside.
  3. Heat half of the coconut milk in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring in red curry paste for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Add the rest of the coconut milk, an equal amount of water, and ground pork. Season with fish sauce, palm sugar, and tamarind, then simmer for 10-15 minutes.
  5. Gently stir in beaten eggs into the simmering broth to create soft strands; boil for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  6. Stir in crushed peanuts, remove from heat, and combine well.
  7. In a separate pot, boil water and cook drained rice noodles for 2-3 minutes until tender but firm.
  8. Drain noodles and rinse under cold water; lightly toss with oil to prevent sticking.
  9. Serve noodles in bowls and ladle hot soup over them. Garnish with fresh herbs, lime wedges, and chili flakes.
