Combine the pork, scallions, pepper, and 1 teaspoon
fish sauce and shape into 1-inch meatballs. |
| 2 |
Peel the taro and slice 1/2 inch thick or, if you
like, "slice" Vietnamese fashion, which is not really
slicing, as follows: after peeling, using a rounded 1-inch measuring
spoon, scoop out pieces. (This is similar to using a melon baller,
except that the pieces are shallower in depth and wider over all.) |

Bring the water to a boil. Drop in the meatballs and
taro and cook at a boil for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, test to
make certain the taro is soft; if not, cook a few minutes more. When
the taro is ready, add 1 tablespoon fish sauce and 1 teaspoon salt
to the soup. |

Sprinkle with the coriander and scallion greens and
serve with rice. |
