Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound tapioca or rice flour noodles
  • 1 pound crab meat (you can use a combination of fresh crab and crab sticks)
  • 1 pound pork (either pork belly or pork shoulder), sliced into thin pieces

Method
 

  1. In a large pot, heat the cooking oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until fragrant.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
