Ingredients

Instructions

1. Trim the fatty edges off the pork chops.
2. Cut the pork across the muscle grain into a few pieces, then into thin slices about 2 mm thick.
3. Mix the cornstarch, oyster sauce and water until smooth, add the pork and massage it for about 30 seconds.
4. Wash the bok choy well: separate the stalks, rub the base of each stalk to remove dirt, rinse under running water. Optionally soak for 30 minutes.
5. Cut the larger stalks in half lengthwise and separate them from the leaves; smaller stalks can be left whole.
6. Cut a few thin slices of ginger if using.
7. On high heat, bring the water, chicken broth, oil, salt and ginger to a boil in a pot, covered.
8. Add the bok choy stems first, then the leaves.
9. Cover and wait for the pot to return to a gentle boil.
10. Add the pork slices a few at a time, separating them, and add chicken bouillon if using.
11. Once the pot returns to a boil, the soup is ready, about 1 to 2 minutes.
12. Serve the bok choy in the soup, or remove it and eat it separately; for big batches, remove it from the hot soup sooner so it does not lose colour and firmness.
