Method
Heat 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil in a small saucepan over medium heat and fry half the garlic for 2 minutes until golden and crisp, then lift out with a slotted spoon and set aside as garlic oil.
Pour the chicken stock into a large saucepan, add the remaining garlic and the remaining oil, and bring to a simmer.
Add the minced pork and palm sugar and simmer for 12 minutes, breaking up any clumps, until the pork reaches 71°C on a meat thermometer.
Stir in the fish sauce and light soy sauce and simmer for 2 minutes.
Add the green beans and cook for 2 minutes until just tender.
Divide the blanched rice noodles and beansprouts between four bowls and ladle over the hot broth and pork.
Drizzle each bowl with the garlic oil, sprinkle with crushed peanuts, chilli flakes and spring onions, and finish with coriander.
