Instructions

In a large pot, heat the cooking oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until fragrant.
Add the pork slices to the pot and cook until they are lightly browned. Then, add the crab meat and shrimp, and continue cooking for a few more minutes.
Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth, fish sauce, and sugar. Stir everything together and bring the broth to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for about 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
While the broth is simmering, cook the tapioca or rice flour noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain and set aside.
To serve, divide the cooked noodles among four bowls. Ladle the hot broth with crab meat, pork, and shrimp over the noodles.
Garnish each bowl with fresh herbs like cilantro, basil, and green onions. Squeeze some lime juice over the top for an extra zing.
