How to Make Delicious Shiitake Mushroom and Pork Noodle Soup

Shiitake mushroom and pork noodle soup is a comforting, umami-rich dish loved for its simplicity and flavor. Here’s a step-by-step guide to making it at home.

Ingredients:

200g fresh noodles (or dried noodles), 150g pork loin (sliced thinly), 5-6 shiitake mushrooms (sliced), 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 green onion (chopped), 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp oyster sauce, 1/2 tsp sugar, salt to taste, 4 cups chicken broth, and 1 tbsp cooking oil.

Instructions:

1. Prep the ingredients: Marinate the pork slices with 1/2 tbsp soy sauce and a pinch of salt for 15 minutes. Soak dried mushrooms if using, then slice.

2. Cook the pork: Heat oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Stir-fry the pork until lightly browned, then remove and set aside.

3. Sauté the mushrooms: In the same wok, add garlic and mushrooms. Stir-fry until mushrooms soften and release their aroma (3-4 minutes).

4. Simmer the broth: Pour in chicken broth, add soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sugar. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer for 5 minutes to deepen the flavor.

5. Combine and serve: Return the pork to the broth. Cook the noodles in boiling water until al dente, then drain. Divide noodles into bowls, ladle the hot broth and toppings over, and garnish with green onions.

Tips: For extra richness, add a splash of sesame oil or a soft-boiled egg. Adjust seasonings to your taste, and enjoy this hearty, homemade noodle soup!
