Break the rice noodles into short pieces, and cut the scallions and cucumber for serving.
Crush the garlic and break the dried shrimp coarsely.
Heat the oil in a deep pan to about 180°C.
Fry the rice noodles in small batches for 20 seconds, until puffed and crisp.
In a separate pan, turn the garlic and dried shrimp for 1 minute.
Add the tamarind paste, fish sauce, sugar, and lime juice, and cook for 5 minutes into a glossy sauce.
Quickly toss the crisp noodles with the sauce and serve immediately with scallions and cucumber.
💡 Tip: Fry the noodles in small batches, crowded oil keeps them from puffing and they lose their crispness.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve mee krob immediately as a crisp snack with scallions, lime wedges, and optional cucumber.
