Then add sugar and fish sauce, and mix until smooth.
Next, place all of your ingredients in a large bowl: shrimp, pork belly, garlic chives (if using), green onions (if using), Thai chili peppers (if using), and scallions (if using), and bean sprouts (if using).
Add cooked rice noodles if desired.
Then cover everything with the marinade mixture from step 2, mixing well so that everything gets coated evenly.
