Step 1: Prepare the ingredients
Rinse the beef and pork bones with salt water, then with vinegar water, and rinse thoroughly under water to completely remove the odor. Let them drain. Scrape the hair off the pork hock, clean it, put it in a pot of water, and simmer until the pork skin is translucent, then turn off the heat and remove it. You can add a little salt while boiling.
Crush the lemongrass and ginger, and clean them. Remove the beef, soak it in cold water, then cut it into bite-sized pieces. Mix the fermented shrimp paste with 1/2 cup of water and stir well.

Fermented Fish Noodle Soup| Bún Mắm Cá Lóc Fermented Fish Noodle Soup| Bún Mắm Cá Lóc
This is similar to Bún Mắm Nước Lèo, which uses a couple different types of fermented fishes to make the broth, as well as a variety of different toppings (roasted pork, stuffed peppers fish cakes, squid, ect.). This is shortened and made a bit more simple with less toppings. The broth is almost identical, using (air) fried snake head fish (cá lóc) as the main topping and local pre fried fish cake for quick light work. The bitter veggies and mix varieties of herbs and chives is what I love eating this soup the most. The funky salted savory sweet soup broth balances with the bitterness fresh veggies, along with the spicy chili and a squeeze of lime, just makes this bowl of noodle soup overwhelmingly flavorful. With sweet, savory, salty, bitterness, crunchy, fresh, funky, spicy, citrusy… just so much going on!
