The dish consists of yellow egg noodles and red pork and is served either as a soup or dry with broth as a side dish. In addition to the basic ingredients, coriander, scallions, fried garlic and fried pork skin are added. Fine tuning of the dish is done by the customer himself. Tables at street stalls usually have pre-prepared peanut shavings, vinegar with chilli, chilli flakes, fish sauce and sugar to be added to taste.
