Ingredients

• 300 grams pork tenderloin
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon ginger, finely minced
• 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
• 6 cups chicken or pork broth
• 2 tablespoons light soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
• 0.25 teaspoon white pepper (or black pepper)
• 1 teaspoon brown sugar
• 250 grams dried Chinese egg noodles or any wheat noodles
• 200 grams bok choy or baby spinach
• 1 medium carrot, julienned
• 2 stalks green onion, sliced
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
• 2 tablespoons cooking oil

Directions

Step 1

Thinly slice the pork tenderloin into bite-sized pieces. In a bowl, combine the pork with soy sauce, cornstarch, and sesame oil. Mix well and marinate for 15 minutes.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil in a large pot or wok over medium-high heat. Add the ginger and garlic, and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 3

Add the marinated pork to the pot. Stir-fry until it is just cooked through and no longer pink. Remove the pork from the pot and set aside.

Step 4

In the same pot, add the remaining tablespoon of cooking oil. Pour in the chicken or pork broth and bring it to a boil.

Step 5

Stir in the light soy sauce, oyster sauce, white pepper, and brown sugar. Let the broth simmer on low heat for 10 minutes to infuse the flavors.

Step 6

Meanwhile, cook the noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and rinse them under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.

Step 7

Add the bok choy (or baby spinach) and julienned carrot to the simmering broth. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still bright in color.

Step 8

Return the cooked pork to the pot and let it warm through for 1-2 minutes.

Step 9

To serve, divide the cooked noodles into bowls. Ladle the soup with pork and vegetables over the noodles.

Step 10

Garnish with sliced green onions and fresh cilantro, if desired. Serve hot and enjoy your Chinese Style Noodle and Pork Soup!
