Instructions:
1. Soak the rice noodles in water for 15 minutes until soft. Drain and set aside.
2. In a pan, add oil and pour in the beaten duck eggs to make a thin omelette. Roll and slice into strips. Set aside for garnishing.
3. Pound the red onions with the white soy sauce.
4. In a pan, add 2-3 tablespoons of coconut milk and heat over medium heat until the coconut oil separates. Add the pounded mixture (red onions and white soy sauce) and stir-fry until fragrant. Add 1-2 tablespoons of coconut milk, spoon by spoon, and continue stirring until all the coconut milk is absorbed. Then add the pork and stir-fry until cooked. Season with salt and palm sugar to taste. Add ground pepper and yellow tofu. Transfer the mixture to a serving dish, leaving some liquid in the pan for stir-frying the noodles.
5. Arrange the noodles on a plate and garnish with egg strips and sliced red chili. Ladle the separated coconut milk into a bowl. When ready to eat, drizzle the coconut milk over the noodles and serve with garnishes such as coriander, chili, lime, shallots, and basil leaves.
