Start by cutting the pork shoulder into smaller pieces and setting them aside. Then, take the pork bones and place them in a large pot, covering them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and let it cook for at least 30 minutes to create a rich and flavorful broth.

Hey, I gotta say, this pork noodle soup is pretty cool! As a meat lover, I was stoked to see pork shoulder & bones used in the recipe. The combo of pork, bamboo shoots & noodles is a nice twist. I'm Romanian so I'm used to hearty soups like ciorba, and this one's similar. Only thing I'd change is making sure there's no nuts in it, got a nut allergy, you know? Easy to make, pretty tasty, I'd def make it again. One thing tho, prep time's a bit long, like 1hr or so. Still worth it, 4 stars from me!

I appreciate this recipe for Pork and Bamboo Shoot Noodle Soup, it reminds me of the comforting soups I grew up with. The combination of pork, bamboo shoots, and noodles is very traditional in Vietnamese cuisine. I would like to try this recipe at home, but I will need to substitute the rice noodles with gluten-free alternatives to accommodate my dietary needs. The instructions are clear and easy to follow, and I appreciate the attention to detail in preparing the broth and aromatics. I think this dish would be perfect for a cold day or a special occasion, and I look forward to sharing it with my family and friends. The flavors and ingredients are a nice representation of Vietnamese culture, and I appreciate the effort to preserve traditional recipes.

Wow, this soup is **fire**! I love me some good pork, and this recipe delivers. The combination of pork bones, shoulder, and bamboo shoots is like a party in my mouth. I'm all about hearty, comforting food, and this soup hits the spot. The only thing that keeps me from giving it 5 stars is that I'd love to see some more Argentine flair, like a splash of chimichurri or some grilled choripan on top. Still, it's a solid 4 stars from me - **buen provecho**!

As-salamu alaykum, I recently tried this Pork and Bamboo Shoot Noodle Soup recipe and I must say it's a wonderful creation. The combination of pork, bamboo shoots, and noodles in a rich broth is quite comforting. However, I had to make some adjustments to ensure it was halal-friendly for my family. I replaced the pork with a halal alternative and made sure to use halal-certified broth. The result was still delicious and satisfying. I love how the recipe allows for customization, and I appreciate the care that went into creating it. The instructions were clear and easy to follow, and I enjoyed the process of cooking it. My only concern is the use of sesame oil, which I had to substitute with a nut-free alternative due to my allergy. Overall, I would recommend this recipe to anyone looking for a hearty and comforting meal, with a few modifications to suit their dietary needs. Alhamdulillah for the opportunity to try new recipes and share my experience with others.

Yooo, this pork and bamboo shoot noodle soup is straight fire! As a meat lover, I'm all about that pork life, and this recipe delivers. The broth is rich and flavorful, and the addition of bamboo shoots gives it a nice subtle twist. I was a bit worried about the lactose intolerance, but since there's no dairy in this recipe, I'm good to go. The only thing that would take it to a 5-star rating is if it had a bit more of a ramen vibe - maybe some more complex flavors or a spicier kick. But overall, it's a solid 4 stars. Lowkey, I'm gonna make this again and experiment with some new ingredients to give it a more ramen-like flavor. Highkey, it's a winner in my book!

I'm shocked by how outdated and non-vegan this recipe is. The use of pork bones, pork shoulder, and even sesame oil (which may not be vegan depending on the production process) is a major turn-off for me. As someone who's passionate about plant-based and futuristic food options, I was expecting something more innovative and forward-thinking. The ingredients and cooking methods used in this recipe seem almost... primitive. I mean, who uses pork bones and shoulder anymore? Where's the lab-grown meat or algae-based protein? The recipe does mention a 'hearty and comforting soup', but for me, it's more like a blast from the past. I'd love to see a vegan and futuristic version of this recipe, maybe with some lab-grown pork alternatives or plant-based protein sources. Until then, I'll have to give this recipe a hard pass.

I try recipe for Pork and Bamboo Shoot Noodle Soup. Not very good for me. First, pork not halal. I no eat pork. Also, I no like noodles, and I think bamboo shoots not very tasty. I prefer traditional food like falafel and shawarma. This soup not comfortable for me to eat. Maybe good for others, but not for me.

I tried this Pork and Bamboo Shoot Noodle Soup recipe and it was quite satisfying. As a meat-lover, I appreciated the generous use of pork shoulder and bones, which made the broth rich and flavorful. The addition of bamboo shoots and noodles added a nice texture to the soup. I was careful to avoid any nut-based ingredients, and the recipe seemed to be nut-free. The instructions were clear and easy to follow, even for a non-native English speaker like myself. Overall, I would recommend this recipe to anyone looking for a hearty and comforting meal. One suggestion I might make is to add some kebab-style elements to the recipe, such as marinated pork skewers on top of the soup. Nevertheless, the recipe is well-done and I look forward to making it again.

OMG, I'm totally obsessed with this Pork and Bamboo Shoot Noodle Soup recipe!!! 🤩 As a non-veggie lover, I was craving something hearty and comforting, and this dish totally hit the spot! 🍜 The combination of pork, bamboo shoots, and noodles is like a match made in heaven. I especially loved how easy it was to make, despite being a bit of a newbie in the kitchen 🤓. The only thing that would make it better is if it had a bit more Korean flair, like some Gochujang or doenjang to give it that extra oomph 🔥. But overall, I'd def give it 4 stars ⭐️! 👍

Zut alors! This Pork and Bamboo Shoot Noodle Soup, while not a traditional French dish, has its own je ne sais quoi. The combination of rich pork broth, tender bamboo shoots, and satisfying rice noodles is quite delightful. I must admit, I was a bit skeptical about the absence of cheese - a staple in French cuisine, of course - but the flavors in this soup are surprisingly well-balanced. The only drawback, for me, is the use of gluten-containing soy sauce. A minor adjustment to use a gluten-free alternative would elevate this dish to a full 5 stars, n'est-ce pas? Overall, I would highly recommend this recipe to anyone looking for a comforting, Asian-inspired soup that won't set their taste buds ablaze. Vive la cuisine!

OMG, this Pork and Bamboo Shoot Noodle Soup recipe is a total **GOALS**! As a self-proclaimed K-food enthusiast (think Korean street food and desserts, yum!), I was super stoked to give this recipe a try. The combination of rich pork broth, tender bamboo shoots, and springy noodles had me hooked from the get-go! I did add some extra gochujang to give it a spicy kick - because, let's be real, life is too short for bland food . The only downside? No kimchi or pickled ginger on the side (but that's just me being a K-food snob). Overall, I'd totally recommend this recipe to fellow foodies. One thing to note: be sure to check the ingredient labels for any peanut allergens, just to be safe! **P.S. Can we get a BTS-themed cookbook now, pls?**

I recently had the pleasure of trying the **Pork and Bamboo Shoot Noodle Soup** recipe, and I must say it was a fascinating culinary experience! As someone who enjoys trying new and exotic foods from around the world, I was excited to explore the flavors of this Asian-inspired dish. The combination of pork, bamboo shoots, and noodles in a rich broth was quite intriguing, and I appreciated the opportunity to learn about a new cuisine. The preparation process was a bit involved, but the end result was well worth the effort. I was particularly impressed by the depth of flavor in the broth, which was achieved by simmering the pork bones for an extended period. The addition of soy sauce and sesame oil added a nice umami flavor to the dish. Overall, I would highly recommend this recipe to anyone looking to try something new and delicious. **Some minor suggestions for improvement:** I found that the recipe could benefit from a bit more guidance on how to handle the bamboo shoots, as I wasn't entirely sure how to prepare them. Additionally, I would have liked to see some variations on the recipe, such as substituting different types of protein or adding other vegetables. Nevertheless, I thoroughly enjoyed this dish and look forward to making it again in the future.
