Pork and bean sprouts stewed with vermicelli

Overview

I have always preferred eating soybean sprouts, especially the soybean sprouts stewed with vermicelli are particularly delicious. Of course, pork cannot be omitted. The fat in the pork must be used to make the bean sprouts and vermicelli taste more fragrant. Maybe it is due to genetics, but now my eldest daughter also likes to eat this pork and bean sprouts stewed vermicelli. She saw a new batch of sweet potato vermicelli in the supermarket two days ago, so she bought a big handful, which is enough to stew it several times. As a person from the north, this kind of stew is definitely a common dish on the dining table. When I was young, my mother would often make a pot of stew like this and eat a lot with steamed buns or rice. Especially the vermicelli, which is smooth, soft, elastic and chewy, and is especially fragrant because it is soaked in the fat of the pork and the vegetable soup of the stew.

However, although this method of putting dry vermicelli into the pot takes a little longer, it is more delicious.
