Time 5h35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

4 tablespoons canola oil, divided
2 medium carrots, chopped
1 small white onion, chopped
2 tablespoons chopped ginger
4 cloves garlic, chopped
1 habanero, seeded and chopped (or a milder chile if preferred)
2 cups shiitake mushrooms, chopped
1 head Chinese cabbage, chopped
2 tablespoons tamari soy sauce, plus more for drizzling
8 cups chicken stock
2 cups shredded Simple Roasted Pork Shoulder, recipe follows
1 (7-ounce package) udon noodles, prepared according to package directions
1 cup fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish
1 cup bean sprouts, for garnish
Lime wedges, for garnish
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons chopped garlic
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 (4 pound) pork shoulder

Steps:

  • Heat a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons oil. Add the carrots and onions and saute until they begin to caramelize. Next, add the ginger, garlic and habanero. Saute until the vegetables become aromatic, about 1 minute. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil and the mushrooms and cabbage. Stir in the tamari sauce, chicken stock and pork. Reduce the heat to low, cover and let simmer about 20 minutes.
  • To serve, divide the prepared noodles between 4 entree-size bowls. Ladle the soup into the bowls and garnish each with cilantro leaves, bean sprouts and lime wedges. Drizzle with additional tamari sauce, if desired.
  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper. Using a pastry brush, spread the mixture all over the pork shoulder.
  • Set the meat on a rack set into a roasting pan. Roast for 20 minutes, and then reduce the heat to 325 degrees F. Continue to cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the shoulder reads 185 degrees F, about 4 hours. Remove the pork from the oven and let stand until cool enough to handle, about 30 minutes.

This soup was really good, but it was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I would use less soy sauce next time.

This soup was just okay. The broth was a bit bland, and the pork was a bit dry. The udon noodles were cooked perfectly, though.

This soup was really good, but it was a bit time-consuming to make. I think I would only make it on special occasions.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover pork. I made it with some leftover pulled pork, and it was delicious. The broth was rich and flavorful, and the pulled pork added a nice smoky flavor. I will definitely be making this soup again.
