Cooking Instructions
Bring chicken and pork to boiling in 1-1/2 C. water. Reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat; when cool enough to handle, slice meat into small pieces. Reserve the broth. Heat oil in a very large, wide sauté pan. Sauté onion and garlic until onion is transparent. Add meats, shrimp, soy sauce and fish sauce and stir-fry for 5 minutes. Over high heat, add cabbage, carrots, celery, salt, pepper and 1 C. of broth. Stir-fry for 2 minutes. Set aside 1 C. of mixture. Reduce heat to low and add rice sticks, stirring and tossing gently with wooden spoons until heated through and mixed with meat and vegetables, for about 3 minutes. If the mixture seems dry, add more broth. Transfer to platter, spoon reserved mixture on top and garnish with chopped scallions, cilantro and egg slices. Squeeze lime over each serving and sprinkle with additional garnishes. Serve with soy sauce.
