You might have to do a little shopping to make this mee swa, but you'll be glad you did. There's no substitute for meaty pork bones in the rich stock and the cloud-ear mushrooms are a must for authenticity.

ingredients
STOCK
3 pounds meaty pork bones
3 yellow onions, peeled and halved
1 head garlic, halved
1 piece (2 inch size) ginger
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 white turnip, peeled and halved
5 quarts water
SOUP
6 medium dried cloud ear fungi
1/2 pound ground pork
18 fish balls (optional)
1/4 pound Asian greens (such as choy sum or bok choy), washed, trimmed, and roughly chopped
1/4 pound thin, round wheat flour noodles
2 scallions, finely chopped
2 radishes, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro leaves
directions
To make stock, place bones, onions, garlic, ginger, fish sauce and turnip in a large pot. Add the water and slowly bring to a boil over medium heat, skimming any foam. Lower heat and simmer for 2 1/2 hours.
Meanwhile, place cloud-ear fungi in a medium bowl, adding boiling water to cover. Soak until softened, about 10 minutes. Drain, wash and roughly chop.
Strain stock and skim any fat from top. Heat 8 cups stock in a wok or large saucepan over medium heat. Add cloud-ear fungi and simmer for 3 minutes. Add pork, fish balls (if using), greens and radishes, keeping stock at a low simmer for 5 minutes.
Bring a medium pot of water to a boil and cook noodles for 3 minutes, gently separating with chopsticks or a fork. Drain and add to soup.
Serve in individual bowls, garnished with scallions and cilantro. Serve with fish sauce on the side, to be added to taste at the table.

Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.
The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.
