Method
In small skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat; saut?hallots until deep golden, about 4 minutes. Pour through sieve into shallow bowl; set shallots aside.

In large pot of boiling water, cook noodles until tender but firm, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain and chill under cold water; drain well. Add noodles to sauce along with fried shallots, bean sprouts and chopped basil and coriander.
Place pork on greased grill over medium-high heat; close lid and grill, turning once, until browned at edges but still moist, about 5 minutes. Arrange over noodles. Drizzle with reserved sauce; sprinkle with peanuts.
