Sliced Pork, Chinese Broccoli, and Soba Noodle Soup image

Soba noodles are made from fiber-rich buckwheat flour, which keeps you full longer. If you can't find Chinese broccoli, use other leafy vegetables such as mustard greens.

Time 30m

Yield Makes 8 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 ounces soba noodles
3 tablespoons toasted-sesame oil
2 tablespoons chopped peeled fresh ginger
3 garlic cloves, minced
4 cups chicken stock
1 cup water
8 ounces Chinese broccoli (or other leafy greens), sliced on the bias, 1/2 inch thick
12 ounces pork tenderloin, very thinly sliced across the grain (less than 1/4 inch thick)
2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
Garnish: 1 red Thai chile, thinly sliced
Garnish: 1 lime, cut into wedges

Steps:

  • Prepare an ice-water bath. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook noodles until al dente. Drain, and transfer to ice-water bath. Drain, and transfer to a large bowl. Toss with 1 tablespoon oil.
  • Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a medium Dutch oven or a large pot over medium-high heat. Cook ginger and garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Add stock and water. Bring to a boil. Stir in Chinese broccoli, and simmer until crisp-tender, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to low. Stir in pork and soy sauce. Cook until pork is just cooked through, about 1 minute.
  • Divide noodles and soup among 4 bowls. Garnish with chile and lime wedges. Serve immediately.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover pork. It's also a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables.

This is a great recipe for a healthy and flavorful weeknight meal. The pork and broccoli are a great source of protein and vitamins, and the soba noodles are a good source of carbohydrates. I also like that this soup is relatively low in calories.

This soup was so easy to make and it was absolutely delicious! I used leftover pork from a roast and it was perfect. The broccoli and soba noodles were also cooked perfectly. I will definitely be making this soup again.

This soup was a bit bland for my taste. I added some soy sauce, ginger, and garlic to the broth, and that helped a lot. I also think it would be better with some fresh herbs, like cilantro or basil.

This soup is delicious and easy to make. I used chicken broth instead of pork broth, and it turned out great. I also added some mushrooms and carrots to the soup, and they were a nice addition.

I love this soup! It's so flavorful and comforting. The pork is tender, the broccoli is crisp-tender, and the soba noodles are perfectly cooked. I always add a little extra chili oil to give it a bit of a kick.
