Instructions
1: Par-boil your spare ribs and clean. 2: In a large pot, add the cleaned spare ribs, 2 shallots, 1 medium rock sugar, 1 tbsp salt, and 12 cups of water. Bring it to the stove over high heat until boil. Then simmer for 30 minutes. 3: While waiting for the broth to cook, prep your green onions and tomatoes. In a large pan, heat 2 tbsp cooking oil over medium-high heat. Add your green onions and cook for 30 seconds. Add your tomatoes and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Set aside. 4: After broth has been cooking for 30 minutes, add your cooked tomatoes and green onions. Allow this to simmer for 10 minutes. 5: While waiting for broth to continue cooking for 10 minutes, combine all ingredients under 'for the Rieu' in a small bowl. Mix until fully combined. 6: After the 10 minutes of the broth simmering, slowly spoon in your 'Rieu' mixture into the broth. After 5-7 minutes, the 'Rieu' will float to the top once it is cooked. 7: Season the broth with 2 tbsp fish sauce and 0.5 tbsp chicken powder. Taste and adjust as needed. 8: Cook your noodles according to package instructions. 9: Prep your bowls by adding the cooked noodles, broth, and garnish with white onion, green onion, cilantro, and black pepper.View original recipe
