Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Cook the 8 oz rice noodles according to package directions until tender, about 5-7 minutes. Drain and set aside.

  2. Step 2

    Thinly slice the 1 onion and 0.5 lb pork shoulder. Cut the 1 eggplant and 1 zucchini into bite-sized pieces.

  3. Step 3

    Heat the 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large pot over medium-high. Add the sliced onion and pork, cook until pork is browned, about 5 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Add the eggplant and zucchini, stir-fry for 3 minutes until slightly softened. Pour in 4 cups water, bring to a boil, then simmer until vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

  5. Step 5

    Divide noodles among bowls, ladle hot soup over, and serve with crispy fried tofu or pork skin if desired.
