Yes		 A light but tasty soup. How tasty depends on your stock. Pork stock is proper but chicken stock also works well. If making ahead, just bring to a boil so cabbage is still quite crisp, it'll finish when reheated.

Run
  1. Bring Stock to a boil, add Pork and bring back to a boil.
  2. Stir in Fish Sauce, Shallots and Cabbage. Bring back to a boil and pour in EGG stirring to break it up into ribbons.
  3. Simmer just long enough to cook cabbage and shallots, about 3 minutes. Season with Pepper and serve hot.
NOTES:
  1. Napa Cabbage:   This is the most common of the "Chinese cabbages" and now availble throughout North America. Interestingly, like all the others, it isn't really a cabbage but rather a turnip green. For details see our Cabbage & Mustard Greens page.
  2. U.S. measure: t=teaspoon, T=Tablespoon, c=cup, qt=quart, oz=ounce, #=pound, cl=clove in=inch, ar=as required tt=to taste
