Instructions
- Fry the crushed garlic in the oil, then add the pork cut into pieces and sear it for 5 minutes.
- Add the water, the soy sauces and the spices (star anise, five-spice, cinnamon) and bring to the boil.
- Lower the heat, cover and simmer for 45 minutes so the meat becomes tender and the broth is well flavoured.
- Add the tofu cut into cubes for the last 15 minutes, then adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Cut the rice roll sheets into 1 cm strips and divide them between the bowls.
- Pour the hot broth over the strips, add the pork and tofu, then top with the boiled egg and spring onion.
Variations and tips
Meat-free. Replace the pork with shiitake mushrooms and tofu, using a vegetable stock and the same soy sauces.
