Bring a medium pot of water to a boil over high heat. Cook dumpling-wrapper noodles until tender yet firm, about 1 minute. Drain, toss with the oil, and divide among 6 soup bowls or plates.
In a wok or large skillet over high heat, stir-fry the bacon until it renders its fat and is crispy, 3 to 5 minutes.
Add garlic, shallot, onions, lemongrass and chilies, and stir-fry until golden, about 5 minutes. Add crabmeat and peas, tossing well to combine.
Season with fish sauce and pepper to taste. Divide among the servings of noodles, tossing to combine. Serve hot.

I'm just me, mother, grandmother...friend to many and a Louisianian. My Cajun and French Quarter Italian descent afforded me exposure to some of the best of foods. My passions are my family, decorating, cooking and gardening. Those very passions push me into constant awareness with always looking for something new to delight the senses, thus my favorite idiom...Inspire me, puuuullllllleeeeeeease! ...and I mean it, too. God Bless America!
