Spicy Pork Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Puree the tomatoes, onions, garlic, chipotle and adobo sauce in a food processor until completely smooth.
• Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven or pot over medium-high heat until nearly smoking. Add the pork in a single layer, season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and cook, undisturbed, until beginning to brown, about 2 minutes. Turn the pieces and cook until brown, about 1 minute more. Dust the meat with the chili powder, and add the tomato puree, sweet potatoes, chicken broth, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to medium, cover and gently simmer until the meat is cooked through and the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, prepare the toppings: Chop the jalapenos, and whisk together with the yogurt in a small bowl. Shred the cabbage, cut the avocado into chunks and cut the lime into wedges.
• Ladle the stew into large, deep bowls. Top with the yogurt mixture, garnish with the cabbage, avocado, lime and cilantro and serve with the tortillas.

Steps:

• Heat vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium.
• Add garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until the slices become nicely toasted and golden brown, 2 or 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove garlic and set aside.
• Add pork and red-pepper flakes to the pot, and season with salt and pepper. Cook, using a wooden spoon or spatula to break up large pieces, until the pork is well browned and in small bite-size pieces, 5 to 8 minutes.
• Add chicken broth, soy sauce and 4 cups water. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 5 to 8 minutes or so, until the pork is very tender and the broth tastes impossibly good. (Give it a taste and season with salt, pepper, red-pepper flakes and soy sauce, if you want.) Add pea leaves, half of the onion slices, and all of the ginger. Stir to wilt the leaves.
• To serve, ladle soup over noodles and top with remaining onion, cilantro and toasted garlic.

Steps:

• Mix pork, garlic, ginger, Sichuan peppercorns, red pepper flakes, and cumin in a medium bowl. Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add pork mixture; season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring and breaking up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, 8-10 minutes.
• Add broth and bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until flavors meld, 8-10 minutes. Add mustard greens, scallions, soy sauce, and fish sauce and cook, stirring occasionally, until greens are tender, 5-8 minutes; season with salt and black pepper.
• Meanwhile, cook noodles according to package directions; drain.
• Divide noodles among bowls and ladle soup over.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large pot over medium-high flame.
• Add the smashed garlic, ginger paste, chili paste, shiitake and oyster mushrooms, and bamboo shoots. Cook 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly.
• Mix the soy sauce, vinegar, salt, pepper, and sugar in a small bowl, pour it into the pot. Cook 2-3 minutes to let flavors blend.
• Pour in the chicken broth, bring the soup to a boil, and simmer for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, dust pork with cornstarch. You will probably need about 2-3 tbsp, depending on how much pork you have. Season with a few shakes of white pepper and mix thoroughly.
• Heat a pan with 1 tbsp oil and fry pork until mostly cooked through. It will finish cooking in the soup but you want the outside a little brown. Add to soup.
• If you haven't already, dissolve the 3 tbsp cornstarch in the 1/4 cup water and stir until smooth. Pour into the soup and continue to simmer 5 more minutes, until soup thickens. If using tofu, add at this step.
• Remove the soup from the heat and stir in 1 direction until the soup is spinning on its own. Then, slowly pour in eggs in a steady stream using a fork to stir if necessary to break up pieces. (The egg should be cooked almost immediately.).
• Add scallions and enjoy!

Steps:

• Heat sesame oil in heavy large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add pork, sliced green onions and minced ginger and stir-fry 1 minute. Add chicken broth, pasta, bean sprouts and soy sauce. Bring soup to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until pork is cooked through and pasta is just tender, about 3 minutes. Season soup to taste with cayenne pepper and salt. Ladle soup into bowls and serve.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the noodles and cook as the label directs. Drain and toss with 2 teaspoons vegetable oil.
• Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork and 2 teaspoons ginger; cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Add the chicken broth, pickles and 2 tablespoons each pickle brine and soy sauce and cook, scraping up any browned bits, until the liquid evaporates, about 4 minutes.
• Meanwhile, puree 3 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds in a blender until finely ground, about 15 seconds. Add the remaining 3 tablespoons vegetable oil and puree until smooth. Add 1/4 cup water, the chili-garlic sauce, brown sugar and the remaining 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons pickle brine and 1 teaspoon ginger; puree until combined.
• Top each serving of noodles with the sesame dressing, pork, cucumbers and tomatoes. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 tablespoon sesame seeds.

Steps:

• Place pork in a shallow baking dish and pour over vinegar; turn to coat. Let stand for 15 minutes and up to 2 hours.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Heat vegetable oil in a Dutch oven. Season pork with salt and pepper and, working in batches, add to Dutch oven. Cook until browned on all sides; transfer pork to a plate and set aside.
• Add onion, garlic, cocoa powder, cumin, cinnamon, cardamom, and chipotle chiles to Dutch oven. Cook until onion is soft and spices are fragrant, adding a little water if mixture begins to stick to the bottom of the pot.
• Return pork to Dutch oven; stir to combine. Add 1 cup water, sweet potatoes, and turnips; do not stir. Cover and transfer to oven. Cook until pork is tender and vegetables are soft, about 1 1/2 hours. Serve hot with rice, if desired, and garnished with tomato and cilantro.
