- Preparation: 15 min
- Cooking: 20 min
- Makes: 1 serving (675 g)
- Difficulty: Medium
- Diets: Gluten-free, Dairy-free
- Contains: celery, fish, pork, poultry
Ingredients
- 80 g Rice noodles, dry
- 100 g Pork loin, raw
- 250 g Chicken broth
- 170 g Water
- 30 g Bean sprouts, raw
- 5 g Garlic, raw
- 10 g Shallots, raw

Method
- Fry the sliced garlic and shallots in the oil until golden and crisp; set aside with the flavoured oil.
- Bring the broth and the water to a simmer together in a pot; this stands in for the traditional pork bone broth, so use a light homemade pork stock instead if you have one.
- Add the sliced pork loin to the simmering broth and poach for 3-4 minutes until just cooked through.
- Season the broth with the fish sauce, sugar and black pepper.
- Meanwhile, blanch the rice noodles and bean sprouts briefly in boiling water, then divide into bowls.
