Description
Enjoy a nourishing bowl of Pork & Bok Choy Udon Soup, filled with rich flavors and comforting textures.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 ounces Dried Japanese udon noodles (Fettuccine can be used as a substitute.)
- 1 small bunch Bok choy, coarsely chopped (Swiss chard or spinach can be substituted if needed.)
- 1 pound Pork tenderloin, sliced (Cut into 1/4-inch slices. Chicken breast can be used as a lighter option.)
- 6 cups Reduced-sodium chicken broth (Vegetable broth keeps it light.)
- 3 tablespoons Reduced-sodium soy sauce (Tamari offers a gluten-free alternative.)
- 4 teaspoons Minced fresh gingerroot (Ground ginger could work, but fresh is ideal.)
- 3 cloves Minced garlic (Garlic powder can substitute in a pinch.)
- Thinly sliced green onions (Adds a fresh, zingy touch.)
- Sriracha chili sauce (Adjust the amount to fit your spice preference.)
Instructions
- Prepare the Noodles: Start by cooking the udon noodles according to the package instructions—this usually takes about 8-10 minutes. Once done, drain them and give them a quick rinse with cold water to prevent them from sticking together.
- Combine Ingredients in a Pot: In a Dutch oven or a large pot, combine the coarsely chopped bok choy, sliced pork tenderloin, chicken broth, soy sauce, minced ginger, and minced garlic.
- Bring to a Simmer: Heat the mixture over medium-high heat until it starts to gently boil. Lower the heat and let it simmer uncovered for about 5-7 minutes, or until the bok choy is tender and the pork is cooked through.
- Add the Noodles: Gently stir in the prepared udon noodles into the soup. Ensure everything is well mixed, allowing the flavors to meld together for an additional minute before serving.
- Serve and Garnish: Immediately ladle the soup into bowls. Garnish with thinly sliced green onions and a drizzle of Sriracha.
