This is the second recipe post I wrote on Hive. You can read my first recipe post here: Super Simple Home-Cooked Dish | Bitter-Gourd Soup That Anyone Can Prepare. I make home-cooked meals almost daily, but I admit I am not very creative in my cooking. I envy those who can prepare tasty dishes and post them regularly on Hive. However, not everyone likes cooking, and despite cooking almost every day for the family, it's not an activity I particularly enjoy. So, most of the food I cook is simple and easy to prepare. Another reason I am sticking to simple food is that I am trying to stick to a healthy and fuss-free diet.
So far, this diet choice seems to work fine for me because I have managed to keep my weight under control. But of course, other than food choices, I am controlling my food portion to create a calorie deficit. And, of course, I work out almost every day of the week, which has helped me tremendously to keep my health in tip-top condition. I believe my smooth recovery from Covid19 infection was due to my healthy lifestyle choices. Speaking of exercise, I wrote about my preferred exercise routine in yesterday's post: Girl Power | Three Reasons I Fell In Love With Cardio Boxing. Please feel free to visit and read the post and leave a comment if you feel inclined 😉.
Now, without further ado, let's check out my simple Minced Pork Vegetables Soup recipe 😄.
❤️ The Ingredients ❤️
- Since it is a soup, we obviously need water. I used a medium size stainless steel pot filled with 800ml of water.
- Minced pork mixed with salt, seasoning, a teaspoonful of corn flour. The purpose of corn flour is to make the minced pork slightly sticky and bind together.
- Roll several pork balls using your fingers. I prefer to make them small, roughly 2-3cm in diameter. By the way, I have some leftover pork in the fridge, so I am adding them to the soup as well.
- Cut some green leafy vegetables. I used "siew pak choy" because it doesn't taste bitter and is suitable for this recipe. However, if you don't have "siew pak choy", you can substitute it with other green leafy vegetables like Chinese cabbage.
- White or gray oyster mushrooms. I love oyster mushrooms, and it's one of the "must-have" ingredients in my home-cooked meals. It tastes yummy and is very versatile. You can use it to make soup or stir-fried it with other vegetables of your choice.
- Two or three small size tomatoes.
- Two cloves of garlic.
- Salt, pepper, seasoning (optional)
❤️ Suder Duper Simple Instructions ❤️
- Boil the water and add the garlics. Heat it up until the water is boiling.
- After a couple of minutes, put in the minced-pork. Let it simmer in medium heat for 4-5 minutes.
- After the 4 minutes is up, put in the vegetables, mushrooms, and tomatoes. Simmer for a couple of minutes.
- Add in salt, pepper, and seasoning (optional) to taste. Stir for a couple of minutes and turn off the heat.
- Woohooo! It's cooked and ready to serve with rice.
- Or alternatively instead of rice, you can also serve it with rice noodles (that you boiled separately).
Tadaaaaa....my lunch for today. Simple, isn't it? I even add a spoonful of kimchi next to my rice. The recipe is very easy to prepare and it's wholesome and healthy. If you can't eat pork, you can substitute it with chicken 😀.
That's it for now. If you read this far, thank you. I appreciate it so much! Kindly give me a follow if you like my content. I mostly write about making art, life musing, and our mundane yet charming family life here in Klang Valley, Malaysia.
