How to Make Golden Mushroom and Lean Pork Soup: A Complete Guide

Golden Mushroom and Lean Pork Soup is a nourishing, easy-to-make dish loved for its umami-rich flavor and health benefits. Here’s a step-by-step guide to preparing it perfectly.

Ingredients:

- 200g lean pork, sliced thinly

- 150g fresh golden mushrooms (enoki), rinsed and roots trimmed

- 1 liter water or chicken broth

- 2 ginger slices, lightly smashed

- 1 scallion, chopped

- Salt, white pepper, and a pinch of sesame oil to taste

Steps:

1. Prepare the Pork: Marinate the sliced pork with 1 teaspoon of soy sauce, a pinch of cornstarch, and half the ginger for 15 minutes to tenderize.

2. Cook the Broth: In a pot, bring water or broth to a boil. Add the remaining ginger and reduce heat to simmer for 5 minutes to infuse flavor.

3. Add Mushrooms: Toss in the golden mushrooms and cook for 3–4 minutes until slightly softened.

4. Cook the Pork: Gently add the marinated pork, stirring gently to prevent clumping. Simmer for 2–3 minutes until the pork turns opaque.

5. Season and Serve: Season with salt, white pepper, and sesame oil. Garnish with chopped scallion. Serve hot for a comforting meal.

Tips: For extra richness, add a few red dates or goji berries during simmering. This soup is light yet satisfying, perfect for any season!
