Method

Tap a step once you've finished it.

Bring the bones to the boil in cold water, boil for 5 minutes, then drain and rinse.
Put back on with fresh water, together with the charred onion, radish and dried seafood, and simmer over low heat for 1.5 hours; skim off the foam.
In the last 25 minutes, add the pork loin to the soup, then remove it, and slice thinly.
Strain the broth, season with sugar, fish sauce and salt, then cook the prawns in it for 2-3 minutes, and remove.
Break up the minced pork into a little hot broth, and cook for 2 minutes.
Boil the rice noodles, drain, and divide into bowls.
Top with the pork loin slices, minced pork and prawns, pour over hot broth, and sprinkle with fried garlic and herbs. Serve with bean sprouts and lime.

Tips

Also eaten without broth, in a 'dry' version: the noodles are tossed in a soy-based sauce, with the broth served alongside.
Dried squid gives the broth its characteristic sweetness; can be left out.
