Instructions

1. Separate the green onions into white and green parts. Thinly slice them on the diagonal and set the green parts aside for garnish. Grate 1 inch of ginger and measure 1 tsp of grated ginger with its juice.
2. Heat a pot over medium heat, then add 2 tsp toasted sesame oil. When the oil is hot and begins to smoke, add 4 oz ground pork, spread it evenly and let it sear undisturbed until a crust forms. Season with 1/8 tsp Diamond Crystal kosher salt (half that by weight for table salt) and 1/8 tsp freshly ground black pepper.
3. Once a crust forms, add 1 Tbsp sake and scrape the bottom of the pot with a wooden spatula. Add the grated ginger and the white part of the green onions and mix.
4. Cook until the pork is no longer pink. Add 1 cup chicken stock and 1 cup water, stir, then add 2 tsp soy sauce. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
5. When simmering, tear 1/2 block (7 oz / 200 g) medium-firm tofu into bite-sized pieces with your hands and add them to the pot. Let the tofu warm through.
6. Taste and add salt if needed.
7. Mix 1 Tbsp potato starch or cornstarch with 2 Tbsp water to make a slurry. Stir again just before pouring, drizzle it evenly into the soup, and stir until the broth thickens slightly. Turn off the heat.
8. Serve in bowls, garnish with the green part of the onions and sprinkle with white pepper.
