Method
Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil and blanch the fish balls for 3 minutes until heated through and floating, then lift out and set aside.
In the same water, blanch the sliced pork liver for 1 minute until just cooked through, then lift out and set aside.
Heat the lard in a wok over medium-high heat and stir-fry the minced pork, breaking it up with a spoon, until a meat thermometer reads at least 71°C, about 5 minutes.
Blanch the egg noodles and tofu puffs in the boiling water for 2 minutes until the noodles are just tender, then drain well.
Stir the rice vinegar, chilli oil, dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, salt and white pepper together in each of 4 serving bowls.
Add the drained noodles to the bowls and toss well to coat evenly in the seasoning.
Top with the minced pork, pork liver, fish balls and tofu puffs, then scatter over the crispy fried shallots and spring onions to serve.
