Ingredients and Method
Ingredients
- 1 package ButcherBox.ca lean ground pork
- 8 cups ButcherBox.ca organic seasoned chicken broth
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 4 oz Shiitake mushrooms, stems removed, thinly sliced
- 2 medium carrots, diced (around 4 oz)
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced
- 3 green onions, thinly sliced, green and white parts separated
- 6 oz flat rice noodles
- 1/4 head Napa cabbage, thinly sliced (about 3 cups)
- 2 tbsp gluten free tamari sauce
- 2 tbsp rice vinegar
- for garnish/serving sriracha sauce & toasted sesame seeds
- to taste Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Method
- Heat olive oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add in mushrooms, carrots, bell pepper, salt and a few grinds of pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened, approximately 4 to 5 minutes.
- Add garlic, ginger and whites from green onions, and cook, stirring, until softened, approx 2 to 3 minutes more.
- Add ground pork, season with salt and a few grinds of pepper and cook, breaking up the pork with a spoon and stirring occasionally, until no longer pink, 5 to 6 minutes.
- Pour in chicken broth and bring to a boil. Add rice noodles and cabbage, cooking until noodles are tender and cabbage is al dente - about 6 minutes.
- Add tamari sauce and rice vinegar, stir to combine. Season with salt & pepper.
- Serve in bowls, topped with greens from the onions, sesame seeds and a drizzle of sriracha, if desired.
- *Cook's note - rice noodles will absorb liquid, so you may need to add water to re heat the soup.
