Steps:

• In a heat-proof bowl that will fit in your pot, combine ground pork, green onion, remaining shallots, vermicelli, woodear mushroom, 2 whole eggs, remaining fish sauce, pepper and a shake of MSG. Carefully mix to combine, then flatten the top.
• Bring about an inch of water to a boil in a pot, gently lower the pork bowl into pot. Close lid and let steam for 50 minutes.
• To check if pork is done, insert a knife in the middle of the bowl and liquid that comes out should be clear.
• Once cooked, turn off heat, beat the egg yolks, then pour on top of the pork. Close lid, leaving a small crack. This allows egg yolks to cook slowly but retain the beautiful bright yellow color.
