Preparation Time: 20 minutes
Cooking Time: 20 minutes
Serves 4
2 boneless Ontario Pork Loin Centre Chops (250 g)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tbsp (15 mL) vegetable oil
1 carton (900 mL) sodium-free chicken broth
2 cups (500 mL) sliced Ontario Crimini Mushrooms
1 tbsp (15 mL) grated fresh gingerroot
3 cloves Ontario Garlic, pressed
4 Ontario Baby Bok Choy, quartered lengthwise
3 tbsp (45 mL) hoisin sauce
1 tbsp (15 mL) each soy sauce and rice vinegar
1 tsp (5 mL) each sesame oil and sriracha sauce
2 cups (500 mL) cooked spaghetti
2 cups (500 mL) Ontario Corn Kernels
4 soft cooked Ontario Eggs, peeled and halved
3 Ontario Green Onions, thinly sliced
Crushed red pepper flakes
Season pork with salt and pepper. In large pot, heat oil over
medium-high heat; cook pork turning once, until hint of pink
remains, about 5 minutes. Transfer to cutting board; let rest
before thinly slicing.
Add broth, 1/4 cup (50 mL) water, mushrooms, ginger and
garlic to pot. Cover, bring to boil over high heat. Reduce
heat to medium-low; partially cover, simmer for 5 minutes.
Increase heat to high. Add bok choy, cook for 2 minutes or
until leaves wilt. Remove bok choy; divide among 4 large
soup bowls. Stir in hoisin, soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil and
sriracha into pot; cover and bring to boil.
Divide spaghetti, corn, eggs and pork among soup bowls;
ladle hot soup. Sprinkle with onions and red pepper flakes.
Tip: For intense mushroom flavour, try shiitake mushrooms
and slice only the caps (reserve the stems for broth).
