Ingredients:-

  • 400g pork tenderloin , cut into long thin strips
  • 600ml chicken stock
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tsp Chinese five-spice powder
  • large knob of ginger , peeled and cut into matchsticks
  • 200g pack baby leaf green quartered
  • 1 red chilli , deseeded and finely chopped or 1 tsp chilli flakes
  • bunch spring onions , whites and greens sliced
  • would suggest making pork bone broth ahead of time, and use that as the base. Also consider adding a bit of cumin.
  • I peeled in some carrots, that helps sweeten it a bit. Mushrooms add some earthiness. I also garnished with fresh cilantro, which gives it a fresh finish. Some bean sprouts added at the last moment would give it some fresh crunch.
  • Found this recipe a bit plain, so I added some fish sauce, oyster sauce and white pepper (and more chillies for those who are up for it). It's amazing now. Truly asian!

Method:-

  • STEP 1
  • Tip all the ingredients, except the spring onion greens, into a large saucepan, put the lid on and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook, without boiling, for about 8 mins, until the pork has changed colour and the greens are cooked, but still a bit crunchy. Ladle into bowls, scatter with the spring onion and serve with boiled rice or noodles on the side.
