Pork Noodle Soup



Pork noodle soup is a staple diet in my parents' house. It's a dish that we could have for breakfast, lunch or even dinner when we didn't feel like having rice. It can be served with any type of Asian noodle. I've even used macaroni and pasta shells when my kids were toddlers. The other great thing about having noodle soup is that you'll be able to satisfy everyone's tastebuds by adding their favourite fishball, porkball, fried beancurd skin, whatever they fancy. Yup, I do try to please even the pickest eater!
