- Preparation: 15 min
- Cooking: 30 min
- Makes: 1 serving (360 g)
- Difficulty: Medium
- Diets: Gluten-free, Dairy-free, High protein
- Contains: celery, fish, peanut, pork, poultry, shellfish
Ingredients
- 90 g Rice noodles, dry
- 1 g Turmeric
- 80 g Pork shoulder, raw
- 50 g Shrimp, raw
- 5 g Garlic, raw
- 10 g Shallots, raw
- 15 g Peanuts, roasted
- 80 g Chicken stock, homemade
- 8 g Fish sauce
- 3 g Sugar
- 8 g Vegetable oil
- 5 g Cilantro, fresh
- 5 g Lime juice
Method
- Soak the rice noodles in hot water for 10 minutes, then drain; a pinch of the turmeric can be added to the soaking water for the noodles' traditional yellow tinge.
- Cut the pork shoulder into thin slices and peel the shrimp.
- Heat the oil in a pot, fry the shallots and garlic for 2 minutes, then add the pork and the remaining turmeric and cook for 4-5 minutes until browned.
- Add the shrimp, stock and fish sauce, bring to a gentle simmer, and cook for 15 minutes so the pork turns tender and the broth turns richly flavoured.
- Season with the sugar to balance the saltiness, keeping the broth intentionally small in quantity, just enough to moisten the noodles rather than a full soup.
- Divide the noodles between bowls, ladle over a small amount of the broth with the pork and shrimp, and scatter with crushed peanuts and cilantro.
- Serve with a wedge of lime to squeeze over just before eating.
