Ingredients

• 1 lb boneless pork loin
• 4 tbsp soy sauce
• 2 tbsp hoisin sauce
• 1 tbsp sesame oil
• 1 tbsp oyster sauce
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
• 8 cups vegetable or chicken broth
• 8 oz dried lo mein noodles
• 1 cup shiitake mushrooms, sliced
• 1 carrot, julienned
• 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 2 heads baby bok choy, chopped
• 3 scallions, thinly sliced
• 1 cup bean sprouts
• 0.25 tsp white pepper
• 0 salt, to taste

Directions

Step 1

Thinly slice the boneless pork loin into bite-sized strips. In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, then marinate the pork in this mixture for 10 minutes.

Step 2

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat a drizzle of sesame oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 3

Increase heat to medium-high and add the marinated pork. Sear until the strips are no longer pink, about 3-4 minutes. Remove the pork and set aside.

Step 4

To the pot, pour in the vegetable or chicken broth. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, hoisin sauce, oyster sauce, and white pepper. Stir well and bring the broth to a gentle boil.

Step 5

Add the dried lo mein noodles to the boiling broth. Cook until the noodles are tender, about 5-6 minutes, following package instructions.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the shiitake mushrooms, carrots, red bell pepper, and baby bok choy. Simmer for an additional 3 minutes until the vegetables are tender yet crisp.

Step 7

Return the cooked pork to the pot, along with the scallions and bean sprouts. Stir gently to heat everything through, then taste and adjust salt levels if needed.

Step 8

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with additional scallions or sesame oil, if desired. Serve hot and enjoy your Pork Lo Mein Soup!
