Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground pork

- 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 2 cups bok choy or spinach
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Bring the chicken or vegetable broth to a simmer in a large pot. Add soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, garlic, ginger, salt, and pepper. Let it simmer for 5 minutes to develop flavor.
- In a separate skillet, cook the ground pork until browned. Season with salt and pepper. Add the cooked pork to the simmering broth.

- Finish by drizzling with sesame oil and sprinkling sliced green onions on top. Serve hot for a comforting pork soup experience.
