Fried Rice Vermicelli with Stew Pork Chops

I'm a great fan of rice vermicelli, (or beehoon) be it fried or cooked with soup. This dish (copied from my parents :P ) is one of our family's all-time favorite dish. It's simple, yet filled with so much fragrance, the canned stew pork chops really works wonders!

Ingredients: (serves 4)
1/2 pkt rice vermicelli (soaked in water for at least 30min)
1 small can stew pork chops
2 eggs (lightly beaten)
1 small carrot (shredded)
1 small cabbage (shredded)
3 cloves garlic (minced)
10 frozen cooked shrimps (thawed)
few drops of oil
1tbsp light soy sauce
1tbsp dark soy sauce
dash of pepper

Directions:
1. Open the can of pork chops, remove the layer of oil on top. Remove the bones in the meat, then mash the meat with a fork. Keep the liquid in the can.
2. Fry a thin omelette with the egg. Shred the omelette into thin strips when cooled and set aside.
3. Add a few drops of oil to frying pan, stir fry garlic till fragrant and golden brown.
