Glass Noodle Soup with Pork Intestine and Soft Bone

Pork intestine and cartilage vermicelli (miến lòng heo sụn) is a noodle dish made with glass noodles simmered in a sweet, clear pork bone broth, served with pork intestines and crunchy, chewy pork cartilage, usually topped with scallions, Vietnamese coriander, and pepper. The broth has a rich yet light flavor, not spicy, and is sometimes served with lime, chili, or shrimp paste depending on personal taste. This dish is usually eaten hot, enjoyed right after it's ladled into the bowl to keep the crunchiness of the cartilage.
