How to enjoy it

Loosen the noodles gently in the broth. Eat noodles and pork together and sip the soup.

A useful check

Contains pork and soy. Ask about wheat in char-siu sauces and the finishing oil; rice noodles alone do not guarantee a wheat-free bowl.

How it may vary

This version has smooth broth without whole beans. Other versions retain beans and add different braised meats.
