Thai Fried Noodles

In a bowl, cover the noodles in lukewarm water and let stand to soften,about 30 minutes. Drain and cut into six inch lengths if desired. Set aside. In a small bowl, combine fish sauce, vinegar, sugar, and paprika. Set aside. Heat a wok or saute pan over high heat. Add oil and swirl to coat pan. Add the pork or chicken, garlic, chili and stir fry for 1 minute. Stir in the noodles and reserved fish sauce mixture and stir fry 30 seconds. Push the noodles to one side and add more oil, if necessary; add the eggs: cook just until slightly set, then break them up. Add shrimp, cook until pink. Add most of bean sprouts, green onions, and 1/4 cup of nuts. Stir-fry until sprouts are crisp-tender, 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat to platter.
