Method
- Add the ingredients for the bone broth into a pressure cooker and cook for 50 minutes on high. Make sure to cover all of the ingredients with water. This can also be cooked on a stove top on a low heat for 10 hours.
- Strain the broth through a sieve, let it cool, and place into the fridge overnight for the fat to seperate.
- Use 1 tablespoon of the fat that will form a layer on top of the broth to cook the mushroom and onions. Discard the rest of the fat. Cook over a hight heat until the mushrooms and onions are golden.
- Add the bone broth to the mushrooms and onions. Add the lemon grass, garlic, soy sauce, and Liviana® Honey to the broth and let simmer over a low heat for 10 – 15 minutes.
- Cook the eggs by putting them in cold water in a small pot. Turn the stove on high until the water starts boiling. Turn the heat down to a simmer. Start timing the eggs once the water starts to boil. The perfect soft egg takes 7 minutes from when the water starts to boil.
- Remove the eggs from the boiling water and place into ice cold water to stop the cooking process. Peel the eggs and gently slice in half.
- Taste the broth and season accordingly.
- Cook the rice vermicelli noodles for 3 – 5 minutes in boiling water.
- Place the noodles in the bottom of a bowl. Pour the broth over the noodles. Top with the fresh vegetables and soft boiled egg. Enjoy!
