Vietnamese cuisine: beef and pork soup with udon, the recipe.
Today I'm going to tell you about a dish I prepared a few days ago and that is not really typical of Vietnamese cuisine but that I often eat at home in Vietnam: a meat soup (mainly beef but also pork ribs and I also add a little pork rind) with udon, the typical Japanese soft wheat noodles.
Very simple and quick to prepare.

Ingredients

– Pork ribs
– Pre-boiled pork rind (if you like)
– Beef tendon (boiled meat)
– Fish balls (bought in a Chinese supermarket in Chiavari)
– Udon noodles (if you can't find them, use normal udon noodles)
– Sweet corn
– A purple onion (we lightly fry part of it in a pan with garlic)
– A carrot
– A celery
– Coriander
– Chili pepper and garlic
– Spices (sugar, salt, tablespoons of fish sauce, seasoning and ground pepper)

Preparation

First, let's cook the meat.
I always boil the meat twice. The first time always brings out the most impure juices and always forms foam, so when the water boils, I throw it away, rinse the meat lightly under the tap and put it back on the heat with new water.
Add all the meat, corn, red onion (chopped roughly), carrot, celery, two or three teaspoons of sugar, a teaspoon and a half of salt and then cook for 35-45 minutes.
After this time the beef should be cooked enough and we can remove it from the water and slice it thinly once it has cooled.
In the meantime, add some spices to the water (two tablespoons of fish sauce and a teaspoon of seasoning), mix well and adjust salt and pepper to taste; then add the fish balls to cook.
Add the udon noodles (directly into the soup) and cook until the noodles are soft and absorb the spices (about 5-7 minutes) and that's it.
Transfer the udon to a bowl and add the broth.
Add the thinly sliced ​​beef, pork skin (if desired) and the fish balls.
Garnish with a handful of cilantro, fried onions and garlic, ground pepper and…
