Bitter Melon Clear Soup with Lean Pork
A light, refreshing clear soup featuring tender lean pork, crisp bitter melon, and silky tofu, accented with a whisper of egg white and aromatic ginger and garlic. This broth-based wonder is both nourishing and satisfying, delivering a balanced blend of protein and delicate flavors.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Lean Pork Tenderloin (170g)
150g Bitter Melon
100g Firm Tofu
1 large Egg White (30g)
1 cup Chicken Broth
1 clove Garlic
1 tsp Fresh Ginger (grated)
1 stalk Scallions (garnish)
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Slice the lean pork tenderloin into thin strips or bite-sized pieces, trimming any excess fat.
Score the bitter melon lengthwise, remove the seeds using a spoon, and slice it thinly. Optionally, blanch the slices in boiling water for 1 minute to reduce bitterness.
Dice the firm tofu into small cubes.
In a pot, bring the chicken broth to a gentle simmer. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, allowing their aromas to infuse the broth.
Add the sliced pork to the broth and let it cook for about 3-4 minutes until just tender.
Stir in the bitter melon slices and tofu cubes, simmering for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Slowly drizzle in the egg white in a thin stream while stirring gently to create silky egg ribbons.
Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with sliced scallions before serving.
Enjoy this comforting, light soup as a balanced meal option.
