- 50 gm bean thread (transparent) noodles
- 75 gm fresh bean sprouts
- 1 1/10 lt chicken stock (qv)
- 1 Tbsp. light soy sauce
- 75 gm Pharma ham or possibly lean English smoked bacon shredded
- 2 Tbsp. fresh coriander finely minced
- 2 Tbsp. spring onions finely minced

- Drain them thoroughly in a colander and cut them into 5cm pcs.
- If you have the time remove both ends of the bean sprouts.
- This wili give the soup a cleaner look.
- Bring the chicken stock to a simmer in a large pot.
- Add in the liquid removed noodles and soy sauce and simmer for 2 min.

- This is a simple soup that typifies the fresh light cooking of the south. Like many good soups it takes a little effort to prepare but it is worth it. It is best to use bean sprouts that are really fresh to give your soup a good crunchy texture. Chinese ham is traditionally used to produce the distinctive smoky flavour but since it can't be obtained here lean English smoked bacon or possibly Parma ham are satisfactory substitutes.
