A long-awaited recipe :’) details below!

Vietnamese Bánh Canh Cua

In a hot pot place some oil and char your aromatics (onion, ginger, garlic)

pork shoulder (I used without bones because that was what I have, try to find some with bones!)

Add in the prepared meat (preferably parboiled before, but because I didn’t have bones I didn’t have to!)

dried shrimp rehydrated (soaked in some water)

medium daikon , peeled and quartered/ cut into 1/3

Add in the soaked shrimp, cut daikon, and fill with water or broth until everything is JUST covered.

Simmer for ~45 mins- 1hr, then season to taste with fish sauce, sugar, and chicken bouillion

In a separate bowl, combine tapioca starch with water and mix. Add in tapioca slurry to thicken.

thick bánh canh noodles, or udon noodles :)

annatto seed oil (1 annato seeds in hot oil for  mins or until oil turns bright orange red)
