How to Make Minced Pork and Mustard Green Soup
Making minced pork and choysum soup is not complicated, but to achieve a refreshing flavor, a clear broth, and crisp, green choysum, you need to pay attention to each step of the preparation and seasoning. Here are the detailed steps to help you succeed on your very first try:
Prepare and Marinate the Pork
If you choose to mince the meat yourself at home:
- First, wash the pork with coarse salt, rubbing it well to remove odor and dirt, then rinse it multiple times with clean water and let it drain.
- Cut the meat into thin slices, then use a knife to mince it finely or pound it in a mortar to give it a chewy texture and preserve its natural sweetness when cooked.
- Place the minced pork in a bowl, marinate it with a little seasoning powder, salt, and ground pepper, and let it sit for about 10 – 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Pro tip: To prepare minced pork without a lingering odor, you can try these 3 basic tips:
- Method 1: Rub the meat with coarse salt or diluted saltwater for about 1-2 minutes, then rinse it clean.
- Method 2: Rub the meat evenly with lemon juice, vinegar, or white wine to deodorize it, then rinse it multiple times.
- Method 3: You can blanch the meat in boiling water for 1 minute, then rinse it under running water to remove any foul odor and impurities.
If you buy pre-minced pork from a market or supermarket:
- Place the meat in a bowl, season with some seasoning powder, a little salt, and pepper, then mix well.
- Let the meat absorb the seasonings for 10 minutes.
Prepare the Mustard Greens and Green Onions
- After buying the choysum, remove the tough base and any damaged leaves, rinse them briefly with water, and cut them into 5 cm pieces.
- To remove dust and any pesticide residue (if present), soak the greens in diluted saltwater for about 10 minutes, then rinse them 2-3 times with clean water and let them drain.
- For the green onions, remove the roots and wilted leaves, and wash them thoroughly. Crush or finely pound the white part to sauté for fragrance, and finely chop the green part to sprinkle on the soup after it’s cooked.
Cook the Minced Pork and Mustard Green Soup
- Place a pot on the stove, add about 1.5 liters of water, and turn the heat to high to bring the water to a quick boil. When the water starts to boil, add 1 teaspoon of cooking oil and the crushed white part of the green onions, stirring to release their aroma.
- Add the marinated minced pork to the pot and gently stir it to break it up and prevent it from clumping.
- When the water boils vigorously, reduce the heat to medium and use a spoon to skim off the foam on the surface to make the broth clear. This is an important step to make the soup look good and taste refreshing.
- Add the choysum and gently stir with chopsticks to cook them evenly. Note: You should only cook them for about 2-3 minutes to keep the greens a fresh green color and maintain their natural crispness and sweetness.
- Season the soup with 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of MSG, and 1/2 tablespoon of fish sauce. Stir gently and taste, adjusting the seasoning to your family’s preference.
- Before turning off the heat, sprinkle with the chopped green onions and a little ground pepper to make the soup fragrant and flavorful.
Final Product
A successful bowl of minced pork and choysum soup will have a clear broth, a mild sweetness from the choysum blended with tender, flavorful minced pork, and the greens should remain green and crisp, not mushy. This soup is perfect for cooling down on a hot summer day while also providing a balanced meal for the family.
