Ingredients

Ingredients II (Pork Marinade)

  • 100g pork slices
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • Dash of ground white pepper
  • 1/4 tsp cornstarch
  • 1/2 tsp oil

Ingredients II

  • 300g cooked noodles
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 150g tomatoes, finely diced and chopped
  • 1/2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 2 cups broth
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 50g cabbage, thinly sliced
  • Bok choy, beancurd skin, and green onions for topping

Ingredients III (Seasonings)

  • 2 tsp light soy sauce
  • 1/8 tsp ground white pepper
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp Sichuan soup base
 

Step 1: Prepare Ingredients and Marinate Pork

Start by thinly slicing the pork.

Marinate it with a mix of salt, pepper, cornstarch, a little oil, and light soy sauce.

Mix well and set aside for at least 15 minutes to let the flavors absorb.

Meanwhile, roughly chop some onions and garlic, and set them aside.

Prepare the seasoning by gathering light soy sauce, ground white pepper, sesame oil, salt, and sugar (to taste, depending on the sweetness of the tomatoes).

 

Step 2: Prepare Tomatoes and Seasonings

Obtain Sichuan soup base from a Chinese grocery store and fresh tomatoes.

Optionally, have some tomato paste on hand to enhance the flavor.

Cut the tomatoes into small pieces.

If you prefer, blanch them in boiling water for 20-30 seconds to easily remove the skin.

This step is optional but can make the soup smoother.

 

Step 3: Sauté Aromatics and Build the Broth

Heat some oil in a pot over medium heat.

First, sauté the chopped onions until they start to color.

Halfway through, add the garlic to prevent it from burning.

Once the onions are nicely browned, add the chopped tomatoes and tomato paste, stirring to combine.

Pour in the homemade broth and bring it to a boil.

Adjust the seasoning with salt, light soy sauce, and pepper as needed.

Allow the mixture to simmer until the tomatoes begin to break down.

 

Step 4: Strain and Enhance the Broth

Once the tomatoes start to break down, use a strainer to remove larger pieces and skins, leaving some tomato chunks in the broth for texture.

Taste the broth and adjust the flavor as necessary.

Add the Sichuan soup base to introduce a bit of heat, adjusting to your preference.

 

Step 5: Cook the Noodles

Bring a separate pot of water to a boil and cook the noodles according to the package instructions until al dente.

Drain the noodles well and place them in a serving bowl.

Make sure the noodles are cooked just right to provide the perfect base for the soup.

 

Step 6: Final Assembly and Garnish

Measure the amount of soup needed for one serving and bring it to a boil again.

Add some cabbage and then the marinated pork to the boiling soup, cooking for about one minute until the pork is just cooked through.

Pour the hot soup over the noodles.

Garnish your dish with vegetables, tofu skin, and chopped green onions.

Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious, hearty bowl of tomato Sichuan pork noodle soup!
