Cooking Instructions

Make the Meatballs:Mix the ground pork with the diced onion, minced shallots, 1 tbsp of seasoning powder, and 1 tsp of pepper. Form the mixture into small meatballs and set aside.
Simmer the Broth:In a pot, combine the cleaned pork ribs, flower-shaped carrots, the whole onion, 2.5 liters of water, and a pinch of salt. Stir well, cover the pot, and set it to soup mode for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, let it sit for another 30 minutes. Then, remove the lid, skim off any fat, and take out the whole onion. Return to cooking mode and add the meatballs and quail eggs, cooking for an additional 15 minutes.
Serve:Place a portion of macaroni into a bowl. Ladle the broth over the macaroni, along with the pork ribs, carrots, meatballs, and quail eggs. Garnish with fried shallots, chopped green onions, cilantro, and ground pepper. Enjoy your meal!

The hot macaroni with pork rib broth is rich and clear, with soft and delicious macaroni, perfectly complemented by the tender meatballs, making it an irresistible dish. You can also enjoy it with a side of chili fish sauce if you prefer.

Tip for Peeling Quail Eggs Quickly: To peel quail eggs easily, boil them in a medium-sized pot. After boiling, pour out the hot water and cover the eggs with cold water. Cover the pot and shake it up and down about 10 times. At this point, the shells should be cracked, making it easy to peel the eggs quickly.
