National dish of Vietnam. The precise way in which it is made is a closely-guarded secret, handed down only by
Vietnamese mothers to their daughters. However, the ingredients are public knowledge:
2 nubile
Vietnamese women (if unavailable, substitute 2 Hmongs)
1 noodle (firm to touch)
2 meatballs
4 bamboo canes (for support)
Cook for
approximate 1 hour. Once cooked, the ingredients will be covered in a tasty, nutritious gelatinous soup.
