Step 1
Soak the 8 oz rice noodles in warm water for 10 minutes, then drain and set aside.
Step 2
In a large pot, bring 6 cups broth to a boil over high heat. Add the 0.5 lb minced pork, breaking it up with a spoon, and cook until it turns white, about 3 minutes.
Step 3
Add the 8 fish balls and 1 cup sliced mushrooms to the pot. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until fish balls are heated through and mushrooms are tender, about 5 minutes.
Step 4
Stir in the 2 tbsp soy sauce and season with salt and pepper to taste. The broth should be savory and slightly salty.
Step 5
Add the soaked rice noodles to the pot and cook until they are soft and tender, about 2 minutes.
