Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C) and roast the onion for 15 minutes or until aromatic. Remove any charred areas to keep the broth clear.
Blanch the pork bones in boiling water for 10 minutes to remove impurities. Drain, rinse, and set aside.
In a clean pot, bring 3 quarts of water to a boil. Add the blanched pork bones and roasted onion. Simmer uncovered on low heat for 2 hours.
Season the broth with fish sauce, sugar, and salt. Remove the bones and onion, and strain the broth for clarity.
Prepare the tapioca noodles according to the package instructions, ensuring they are cooked al dente.
Assemble the soup by placing noodles in bowls, topping with pork sausage and fish cake slices, and ladling hot broth over. Garnish with cilantro and black pepper.
