Description
A savory and aromatic Thai Pork Rib Soup that celebrates family traditions and flavors, perfect for cozy gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons neutral oil (like canola or grapeseed)
- 6 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon ground white pepper
- 1 1/2 pounds chopped pork ribs
- 6 cups water (or chicken broth)
- 3 dried shiitake mushrooms, rinsed
- 8 ounces peeled daikon, cut into 1-inch chunks
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1/2 tablespoon Golden Mountain Sauce or Maggi Seasoning
- 1 teaspoon black soy sauce (optional)
- 1 medium carrot, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 cups green cabbage, cut into pieces
- 2 cups Chinese broccoli (gai lan) or kale, roughly chopped
- Jasmine rice (optional, for serving)
Instructions
- Sauté the aromatics: In a large pot, add the neutral oil over medium heat. Toss in the chopped garlic and white pepper. Sauté until the garlic begins to turn golden, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the meat: Quickly add the chopped pork ribs, stirring them to mix well with the garlic. Allow them to sear for about 5 minutes.
- Pour in the 6 cups of water (or broth) and add the rinsed shiitake mushrooms, daikon, soy sauce, oyster sauce, Golden Mountain Sauce, and a hint of black soy sauce. Bring this mixture to a gentle boil.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low, partially cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 30 minutes.
- Prepare the vegetables: While the soup is simmering, slice off the stems of the mushrooms and thinly slice the caps.
- Add the carrot, cabbage, and Chinese broccoli to the pot and simmer for an additional 10 minutes.
- Taste your soup, adjusting the seasoning with more soy sauce if necessary. Serve hot with jasmine rice or enjoy it on its own!
Notes
This soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 3 months. For a cleaner broth, always peel your daikon and carrots.
