Sweet Soup

Ingredients

• •3 to 4 cups water
• •6 to 8 boiled eggs, peeled
• •1 1/2 to 2 pounds pork, cut into chunky cubes
• •Fish sauce
• •5 to 7 tablespoons soy sauce
• •Pepper
• •Salt
• •1 to 1 1/2 cups sugar
• •Bamboo shoots, rectangular, squarely sliced thin

Directions

1. 1Bring about 3 to 4 cups of water to a roaring boil. Add enough soy sauce to make a dark brown color. Continue to add a couple dashes of pepper, a dash of salt and sugar until sweet. Also add enough fish sauce to taste and some soy sauce.
2. 2At this point you should be smelling a very beautiful smell. The soup should taste sweet, but not so sweet you can't taste the tinge of fish sauce you added. Add the boiled eggs to the soup, let boil for about 15 minutes then add the cubed pork.
3. 3Add Bamboo slices to soup and let boil on medium for about 30 minutes. You should notice that the eggs are taking up a shiny delectable brown color. The soup should smell slightly different.
4. 4When eggs are a nice brown color, the soup is ready to serve.
5. 5It is strongly recommended that you let the soup simmer on low heat for about 2 to 3 hours. The eggs and pork will absorb the flavor better. The soup will taste sweeter and tastier because of the water that has evaporated.
6. 6Serve with a plate of hot steamy rice. Use ladle to cover rice with soup sauce.
