Procedures:
1From: the meades
2I guess that i eat a noodle soup or stir fried noodle dish about 8 times a week, and the repeat cycle is about 3 months.
3However, they have a nasty tendency to read rather repetitively: the techniques and basic principles involved come down to 4 or 5 "signature" dishes, of which this is one.
4when a soup is described as a "yam", it means that everything is just tossed into the stock as it simmers.
5This soup is also sometimes called kaeng jued wunsen (kaeng jued implies a rather bland soup -- by thai standards!).
6this can be made with a variety of ingredients, but the most interesting are probably pork (as here), beef, chicken, shrimp, meat balls, fish balls, shrimp balls, or "monkey balls" (a mixed meat ball ~ not actually made from monkey meat!), or one of the various thai sausages, as well as vegetarian options (for a quick veggie variation try marinating some tofu in dark sweet soy sauce for about 3 hours and then using that instead of the pork).
7maggi sauce is a dark (nearly black) sauce made by the maggi corporation, and widely available...
8method: mix the marinade ingredients, mix with the ground pork, and make the pork into small meat balls, then set aside and leave to marinate for 3 or 4 hours.
9soak and drain the noodles.
10bring the stock to a boil and add all the ingredients except the noodles, and continue to boil until the meatballs are cooked through, when they will float.
11remove from the heat, pour into a serving bowl and add the noodles (note the immersion in the near boiling soup is enough to cook the noodles).
12serve with the usual thai table condiments (nam pla prik [chilies in fish sauce], prik dong [chilies in vinegar], sugar, prik phom [ground chilies], and ground peanuts.
