## Tips

- The chef recommends to use the pork belly part with lots of fat, in order to help the fish be richer and tastier.
- Do not scoop the foam out when boiling, because this is the protein part of the fish sauce, by doing that you lose the taste.
- The fish sauce protein is what brings the flavor.
