Then add half of the clear noodle (save 1/2) makes sure you chop it too

Spoon the filling and stuff inside the squash one by one until finish set aside

In a large soup pot boil 5 to 6 cup of water, when the water is boiling add bone, the last of the garlic paste and cook until the bone is almost done and the meat is soft
Now add the stuff squash to it and cook until the squash is soft and the pork filling is cooked
Add fish sauce, soy sauce, and the rest of the ingredients (that left to the soup) the soup look thin, but when the clear noodle cook and cool down it will be thicker from the noodle, you need to adjust the water and flavor.
