Add the remaining groundnut oil   to   the dish and fry the ginger, chill, and lemongrass for 1 minute.

Stir in the stock and bring to a simmer.

Add the pork and then cook the broth over a very low heat for 1 hour.

Remove the pork and then strain the broth into a clean saucepan.

For the pork balls

Combine the pork mince, bread, and milk in a food processor.

Pulse until combined and season with plenty of salt and pepper.

Shape into balls and arrange in a large, lined steaming basket and cover with the lid.

Steam the balls over a half-filled saucepan of simmering water for 10-12 minutes until cooked through.

Remove from the basket and set aside.

Pull the pork into pieces and return it the broth along with the noodles, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, and fish sauce.

Simmer for 10 minutes or until the noodles are soft.
