Pork Noodle Soup with Cinnamon and Anise

Gourmet December 2007

2 1/2 Pounds Pork Backribs
6 Cups Water
2/3 Cup Soy Sauce
2/3 Cup Stock
1/4 Cup Dark Brown Sugar, packed
1 Head Garlic, halved crosswise
3 Cinnamon Sticks, 3" inches
1 Star Anise, whole
5 1/2 Ounces Bean Threads (cellophane) noodle

Gently simmer all ingredients expect noodles in a 6-quart heavy pot, covered skimming as needed, until pork is very tender, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.

Transfer pork to a bowl. Discard bones, spices, and garlic. Coarsely shred meat. Skim fat from broth, then return meat and bring to a simmer. Rinse noodles, then stir into broth and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until noodles are translucent and tender, about 6 minutes.
