Spicy Pork and Mustard Greens Soup



This Spicy Pork and Mustard Green Soup is a hearty and vibrant dish that brings together the peppery taste of mustard greens with the rich flavours of pork and spices, making it a delicious and satisfying option for any soup lover.

Ingredients:

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 pound ground pork
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust based on spice preference)
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 1 bunch mustard greens, stems removed and leaves chopped
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced, for garnish
  • Small handful of Thai basil leaves, chopped for garnish (optional)
  • Small handful of cilantro leaves, chopped for garnish (optional)
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon chili oil or hot sauce for extra heat

Instructions:

  1. Cook the Pork:
    • Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the ground pork and cook until browned, breaking it up as it cooks, about 5-7 minutes.
    • Remove the pork from the pot and set aside, leaving any fat and juices in the pot.
  2. Sauté the Aromatics:
    • In the same pot, add the garlic, ginger, and onion. Sauté until the onions are translucent and the mixture is fragrant, about 3 minutes.
    • Stir in the red pepper flakes, adjusting the quantity to reach the desired spiciness.
  3. Deglaze and Simmer:
    • Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  4. Add Mustard Greens:
    • Add the chopped mustard greens to the pot. Reduce the heat and simmer until the greens are tender about 10-15 minutes.
  5. Season the Soup:
    • Return the cooked pork to the pot. Stir in soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sugar. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Allow the soup to simmer for another 5 minutes to blend the flavors.
  6. Final Touches:
    • If you desire additional heat, add chili oil or hot sauce to taste.
  7. Serve:
    • Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with sliced green onions.
    • Serve hot, ideally with a side of steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
