  • a splash of fish sauce
  • 1 cup of vermicelli noodles
  • 1 cup of crab meat, shredded
  • a handful of green onions, chopped
  • a pinch of salt
  • a dash of black pepper

Instructions

  1. Heat the chicken broth in a large pot over medium heat until it starts to simmer.
  2. Add the minced garlic and a splash of fish sauce to the broth, stirring gently to combine.
  3. Tip: For a deeper flavor, let the garlic sauté in the broth for a minute before adding other ingredients.
  4. Break the vermicelli noodles in half and add them to the pot, cooking for about 3 minutes or until they’re just tender.
  5. Stir in the shredded crab meat, letting it warm through for about 2 minutes.
  6. Tip: Be gentle when stirring to keep the crab meat from breaking apart too much.
  7. Season with a pinch of salt and a dash of black pepper, adjusting to your liking.
  8. Tip: Taste the broth before adding salt, as the fish sauce already adds saltiness.
  9. Garnish with chopped green onions right before serving.
