Spare Ribs Noodle Soup for the sick

Michael felt sick yesterday so I decided to make soup for him. A quick trip to Viet Wah and I settled on making a nilaga with misua with some modifications.

INGREDIENTS:
2 lbs pork spare ribs
1 whole onion
whole peppercorn
button mushrooms (he doesn't like shitake mushrooms)
2 whole patola
wonton noodles
fish sauce
oyster sauce

DIRECTIONS:
1. Cut spare ribs and put in pot of boiling water. Peel and roughly chop onions and drop in pot. Add peppercorns. Simmer for about an hour.
2. Once the meat is tender, add peeled and chopped patola and mushrooms. Season with a little oyster sauce and fish sauce.
3. Boil water in separate pot and drop in wonton noodles. Cook for 5 minutes, drain and put in serving bowl. Add the meat, vegetables, and broth. Serve.
