Love finding these pre-digital recipes. I used bean thread and pancetta because that’s what we had. Very nice, cozy soup. Wondering what fresh shredded pork is though. A similar soup at our old takeout place had like, little rectangles of salted Chinese bacon or pork belly or something, like a French lardon, which is why I felt ok using pancetta.
