Glazed Pork Ribs Noodle Soup l Asian Fusion Elegance

For this recipe, I start by making a flavourful pork stock from scratch, which I use not only as a base for the soup but also for poaching the vegetables. Then, I create a simple yet delicious glazed sauce with the tender pork ribs meat as the topping. If you don’t have noodles on hand, feel free to substitute any pasta you prefer. I hope you enjoy this hearty and satisfying noodle soup!

Method:

1. Prepare Pork Ribs Stock:

• In a large pot, combine pork ribs, garlic, ginger, bay leaves, carrot, peppercorns, onion, and water.
