glass noodle soup with pork
Pork and glass noodle soup
The first time I saw this I thought 'pork soup-hm, you don't see that one very much', but it works!
Try the spring rolls of your choice for a follow up for a complete dinner your family will love.
2.5 pounds country style pork ribs, with or without bone
6 cups water
3/4 cup soy sauce
3/4 cup medium dry Sherry
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 head garlic, cut crosswise but unpeeled
3 cinnamon sticks (3 inch each)
1 whole star anise pod
4 bundles bean thread noodles (cellophane noodles) about 7 ounces total
sliced scallions, for garnish
Gently simmer all ingredients except noodles in a heavy pot, covered, skimming as needed, for 2 hours or until pork is falling off the bone tender.
Transfer meat to a bowl and strain broth into a clean pot. Coarsely shred the meat with your hands and distribute among 4 deep soup bowls. Bring broth back to a simmer. Rinse noodles under running cold water, then add to broth and cook until soft and see thru, about 5 minutes. Distribute noodles into bowls over meat, then ladle on broth. Garnish with sliced green onions.
