Creating Tapioca Flour Noodles (Cassava Flour)
Tapioca Flour: To prepare a meal for approximately 4 people, you'll need about 1.5 cups of cassava flour. If you don't have tapioca flour or dislike its taste, you can easily switch to using cornstarch.

Additionally, if you're serving more people, you can adjust the amount of flour according to your needs.
Here's the method:
Take the portion of tapioca flour (cassava flour) prepared, mix it with about 1/3 teaspoon of salt. Slowly pour hot water into the flour until you feel it's moist enough to knead.

Next, take a spoon or a stirring tool to continuously stir the dough to ensure it doesn't clump. Once the dough cools, knead it with your hands until it's soft and smooth, then roll it out thinly.
Slice the rolled dough into long, thin strands, resembling the noodles you commonly see. Note that while rolling, add a layer of dry flour to prevent sticking to the tool or hands.

Execution Method
Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients
Crab: Clean the crab by soaking it in water for about 30 minutes to 1 hour to let the crab release sand and dirt at the joints. Then, thoroughly wash the crab, especially at the leg joints.
Extracting Crab Meat - How to Cook Crab Noodle Soup
After cleaning the crab, steam it for about 2 – 3 minutes, then take it out to cool. Separate the crab meat and crab roe, placing them in a clean bowl.
Green Onions, Cilantro: Wash thoroughly, remove roots, and chop finely.
Dried Onions: Crush and finely chop.
Pork Intestines: Steam until cooked, then cut into bite-sized pieces.
Step 2: Prepare the Broth
Pork Ribs: Cut into small pieces, then simmer for about 30 minutes to make the broth tender. Note that when the water starts boiling, open the lid, skim off any impurities for a clearer and tastier broth.
Crab: Heat some cooking oil in a pan until hot. Add dried onions and sauté until fragrant, then add crab roe and stir well.
Stir for about 2 minutes, then add the previously extracted crab meat and cook until done. Season with spices to taste, turn off the heat, and transfer to a bowl.
