30 min4 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 lb baby bok choy
  • 4 oz pork chop
  • 14 oz chicken broth
  • 5 cup water
  • 2 slice ginger
  • 1 tsp oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp chicken bouillon
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp oyster sauce
  • 1 tbsp water

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare pork: To prepare our pork chops, we'll first need to trim away the fatty edges.

  2. 2

    Wash bok choy: We'll need to wash the baby bok choy thoroughly:

  3. 3

    Trim bok choy: The stalks of bok choy are all inherently different sizes, so we'll want to make two cuts for the bigger stalks:

  4. 4

    Prepare soup base: Set your stove to high heat. In a pot, we'll bring water and chicken broth to a boil.

  5. 5

    Cook bok choy: Once the pot has come to a boil, we'll throw in our bok choy, starting with the stems. These are thicker and take longer to cook.

  6. 6

    Cook pork: Once the bok choy has returned to a boil, add the pork slices a few at a time, making sure to separate them from one another. We can also add chicken bouillon (optional).

  7. 7

    Plate & enjoy!: After you’ve cooked it, we can keep the bok choy in the soup and eat it as is.
