For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a splash of fish sauce to the pork mixture.
If you don't have thick soy sauce, you can use regular soy sauce, but reduce the amount slightly.
Feel free to substitute the pork with chicken, beef, or tofu to suit your dietary preferences.
Adjust the amount of serrano pepper to your desired level of spiciness.
Make sure to not oversoak the noodles, or they will become mushy.
