Ingredients

• 1 lb pork shoulder
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil
• 1 large onion
• 2 medium carrots

• 3 cloves garlic cloves
• 1 inch piece ginger
• 8 cups chicken broth
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp fish sauce
• 8 oz dried egg noodles
• 3 stalks scallions
• 0.5 cup cilantro
• 1 lime

Directions

Step 1

Season the pork shoulder with salt and black pepper. Cut into large chunks.

Step 2

In a large pot, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat and add the pork. Sear on all sides until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 3

Remove the pork from the pot and set aside. Lower the heat to medium.

Step 4

Chop the onion, carrots, and celery into large pieces and add to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften, about 5 minutes.

Step 5

Mince the garlic and ginger, then add to the pot. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 6

Pour in the chicken broth, soy sauce, and fish sauce. Stir well, then add the browned pork back to the pot.

Step 7

Bring the soup to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover. Simmer for about 1 hour or until the pork is tender.

Step 8

While the soup simmers, cook the dried egg noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Step 9

Once the pork is tender, remove the chunks from the soup and shred the meat with forks.

Step 10

Return the shredded pork to the pot and stir in the cooked noodles.

Step 11

Chop the scallions and cilantro, and slice the lime into wedges.

Step 12

Serve the soup hot, garnished with scallions, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice.
