PREPARATION

PREPARING THE STOCK

Follow the steps for recipe "Basic Asian Stock", which is in the dependent recipes section to the right. You'll need 1-2 quarts of this stock, which is 4-8 cups.

MAKING THE GARLIC IN OIL

Follow the steps for recipe "Garlic Fried in Oil", which is in the dependent recipes section to the right. You'll need 2 TBSP of this garlic to add in later.

MAKING THE BROTH

Put about 1/4 cup of pork in a ladle. Lower it into the soup stock, breaking up the meat with the back of the spoon and releasing it into the stock.

Repeat until all of the meat is added to the stock.

Add the cilantro and cucumber, and cover. Lower the heat to medium-low, and keep warm until ready to serve.

PREPARING THE NOODLES
