How to cook it
-
Bring the water to a boil and blanch the pork ribs 2 minutes to remove impurities, then drain and rinse.
-
Peel the taro and cut into large chunks, and slice the taro stems.
-
Return the ribs to a clean pot with fresh water to cover generously, bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and skim any foam.
-
Simmer until the ribs are nearly tender, about 25 minutes.
-
Add the taro and simmer until it starts to soften and thicken the broth, about 12 minutes.
-
Add the taro stems and simmer until everything is tender, about 5 minutes more.
-
Season with the fish sauce.

Ladle into bowls, scatter with scallions and cilantro, and serve hot; this canh is substantial enough to anchor the meal alongside rice.
