Serves: 4-6
 
Ingredients
  • 2 Tbs. oil
  • 2 Cedar Valley pork chops
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 2 Tsp. soy sauce
  • 2 Tsp rice vinegar
  • 1 ½ Tsp garlic
  • ~1 Tsp ginger (the amount is approx. because I grate fresh ginger directly into the pan)
  • 1 tsp chili paste (or red pepper flakes)
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 small head bok choy, chopped (optional)
  • 2-2 ½ quarts chicken or pork stock
  • 6 oz. ramen or soba noodles
  • ¾ cup (loosely packed) cilantro, chopped (optional)
Instructions
  1. Heat oil in soup pot.
  2. Begin sautéing onion and slice the pork into thin, bite sized pieces. (I like to slice it when it’s still partially frozen.)
  3. Add the pork to the pot & sauté until it begins to brown.
  4. Add the next six ingredients (soy-sesame oil).
  5. Stir in bok choy and cook until pork is browned.
  6. Add stock and bring to a boil.
  7. Add noodles and cook according to package directions.
  8. Stir in cilantro and serve. (I like to have extra soy & chili paste on the table to adjust to taste.)
