Dissolve palm sugar in water to prepare the sauce.

Add fish sauce and cut back on tamarind, replacing it with sriracha to taste.

Cook shrimp in a pan and set aside.

In the same pan, cook garlic, shallots, dried shrimp, sweet preserved radish, chili flakes, and pressed tofu.

Add a quarter cup of water to the pan along with the sauce, tossing until the glass noodles absorb all the sauce.

Place the noodles on top of the eggs, let them cook, then break up the eggs and mix everything together.
