½teaspoondried chili pepper
8ouncesshiitake mushroomssliced into strips
1canbamboo chutes8 ounces

Instructions
Heat oil in a skillet over medium high heat. Add the ground pork and cook until it is crumbled and begins to brown and become crispy.
Reduce heat and add garlic, dried chili flakes, mushrooms, and bamboo chutes.
While the pork is cooking, prepare the fresh ingredients (green onions and cilantro) and set aside.
Pre-soak the glass noodles in a bowl of hot water for 10 minutes to let them soften. Once softened, add them to a pot of salted boiling water for 1-2 minutes. Glass noodles are delicate, so be sure not to over cook. Once cooked, strain and rinse under cold water.
Mix together the sauce by combining the soy sauce, fish sauce, lime juice, and sugar.
Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and gently fold the ingredients into each other.
Plate and garnish with a dried chili and lime wedges.
