About

I love a simple home-cooked Vietnamese soup. The baby back pork ribs are simmered for 2 hours to make for the most luscious bone broth. The broth is then seasoned with sauteed white onions, scallions and garlic. The julienned chayote add a slight sweetness! I like to serve the soup with a small dipping bowl of fish sauce so you can dip the tender meat into it. You will be amazed at how flavorful the broth is with only a few simple ingredients.
