Heat the vegetable oil in a saucepan over medium heat for 2 minutes until the garlic and shallot soften and turn lightly golden.

Simmer
Pour in the chicken stock, bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium and simmer for 8 minutes until savory and sharp.

Poach
Add the sliced pork to the simmering broth and cook over medium heat for 3 minutes until the pork turns opaque and firm.

Boil
In a separate pot of boiling water over high heat, cook the soaked rice noodles for 1 minute until soft and translucent, then drain.

Stir the fish sauce, lime juice, sugar, and white pepper into the broth. Taste and adjust until salty, sour, and hot balance clearly.
