Pork Tofu Soup

Living in Hawaii we don't get much cold weather, but when we do, I love to to get my comfort food on. The other day I made this super yummy Pork Tofu Soup and posted it on Instagram. To my surprise, so many people wanted me to share the recipe. So here it is! Enjoy! 

Pork Tofu Soup

Ingredients:

1-2lbs. of ground pork

1 Large Onion, diced

4 cloves of garlic, diced (**I love garlic, so you could actually use more or less.) 

1 Tray Extra Firm Tofu, cubed

1 32oz. box low sodium Chicken Stock

Fish Sauce (**Can be found in most grocery stores, in the Asian section.)

Sugar or your favorite sweetener. I used an organic Coconut Syrup. 

Salt 

Pepper

3-4 Stalks Green Onion, sliced 

2 bunches of Bok Choi, chopped

1 bag bean sprouts (optional)  

Heat your stock pot on medium while you prep your veggies & tofu. When your pot is ready, add your ground pork, season with salt, & pepper. I don't use any oil in this recipe since the pork has a lot of fat. When most of the meat is brown, add your diced onions & garlic. Continue to cook till the onions are translucent. Add your tofu & a few teaspoons of fish sauce. Stir & cook for a few minutes. Now add your chicken stock. Season with more salt, pepper, & fish sauce to desired taste. Bring to a boil then add sugar or your favorite sweetener two teaspoons at a time, to balance out the flavors. Once your happy with the taste, add your green onions & Bok Choi at the last minute & remove pot from heat. Stir & let cool for a few minutes and serve. 

Serve with some Siracha & garnish with fresh bean sprouts. Enjoy!! 

**Note: You can substitute with ground chicken if you'd like. However if you decide to do so, you'll want to use some oil. Sauté the onion & garlic first then add the chicken & continue to cook as described in recipe. I also like to use organic ingredients whenever possible.
