Preparation

Directions

1. Prepare the Pork Belly

In a pot, boil the pork belly for about 40 minutes until tender. Remove and let cool. Once cool, slice it into bite-sized pieces and pan-fry until crispy.

2. Make the Broth

In a large pot, combine the coconut milk, chicken or vegetable broth, lime leaves, and fish sauce. Bring to a simmer.

3. Cook the Noodles

In a separate pot, cook the rice noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

4. Prepare the Vegetables

Add the julienned carrots and bell peppers to the broth and simmer for about 5 minutes. Add bean sprouts and cook for an additional 2 minutes.

5. Cook the Eggs

In a small pot, boil water and gently add the eggs. Boil for about 6-7 minutes for soft-boiled. Remove, cool, peel, and set aside.

6. Assemble the Soup

In serving bowls, add a portion of rice noodles, top with the broth and vegetables, crispy pork belly, and halved soft-boiled eggs. Garnish with crushed peanuts, cilantro, mint, lime juice, salt, and pepper to taste.
