Ingredients

• 500 g pork shoulder
• 250 g edamame (shelled)
• 1 onion
• 3 garlic cloves
• 15 g ginger (fresh)
• 1 carrot
• 1 celery stalk
• 1 L chicken or vegetable stock
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp black pepper
• 1 tbsp vegetable oil
• 2 spring onions

Directions

Step 1

Cut the pork shoulder into bite-sized pieces and season lightly with salt and pepper.

Step 2

Finely dice the onion, mince the garlic, and grate the ginger. Thinly slice the carrot and celery. Set all the prepped vegetables aside.

Step 3

Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Once hot, add the pork pieces and sear them until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the pork from the pot and set aside.

Step 4

In the same pot, add the diced onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Sauté until fragrant and the onion becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 5

Add the sliced carrot and celery to the pot. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 6

Return the seared pork to the pot, then pour in the chicken or vegetable stock. Stir in the soy sauce and sesame oil. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a gentle simmer.

Step 7

Cover the pot partially with a lid and let the soup simmer for 30 minutes, until the pork is tender and the flavors are well combined.

Step 8

Add the shelled edamame to the soup and cook for another 5 minutes.

Step 9

Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or soy sauce, if needed.

Step 10

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with finely chopped spring onions. Serve hot and enjoy!
