Chinese Pork Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Cook noodles according to package directions, or until of desired consistency, drain.
• Meanwhile, in a large pot combine all remaining ingredients. Stir in the cooked noodles.
• Bring to a full boil over high heat, stirring occasionally.
• Boil for about 10 minutes.
• Sprinkle each serving with chopped green onions if desired.

Steps:

• Heat vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium.
• Add garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until the slices become nicely toasted and golden brown, 2 or 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove garlic and set aside.
• Add pork and red-pepper flakes to the pot, and season with salt and pepper. Cook, using a wooden spoon or spatula to break up large pieces, until the pork is well browned and in small bite-size pieces, 5 to 8 minutes.
• Add chicken broth, soy sauce and 4 cups water. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 5 to 8 minutes or so, until the pork is very tender and the broth tastes impossibly good. (Give it a taste and season with salt, pepper, red-pepper flakes and soy sauce, if you want.) Add pea leaves, half of the onion slices, and all of the ginger. Stir to wilt the leaves.
• To serve, ladle soup over noodles and top with remaining onion, cilantro and toasted garlic.

Steps:

• Rub five spice powder on pork and salt liberally.
• Fry the pork and ginger in a wok with a little oil till cooked through.
• Transfer pork onto a cutting board and slice into thin strips.
• Add 6 cups of water to the wok and bring to a boil. The wok does not need to be rinsed out unless you used too much oil.
• Add granuled chicken flavoring, mushrooms and carrots. Boil till the vegetables are cooked.
• Turn heat off. Add pork strips and sesame oil to taste. Lime juice can be added, too, if you want the soup to be a little sour.
• Serve into individual bowls with cilantro.
