Ingredients
- spinach - watch the video to see (as needed)
- tofu - watch the video to see (drained and cut into 1 in by 1 in pieces)
- carrot - 1/2 (half, sliced into 1/4 inch thick slices at an angle)
- pork - watch the video to see (thinly sliced across the grain)
- white pepper powder - 1/4 teaspoon (about 1/4 teaspoon)
- water - 4 cups (4 cups)
- salt - watch the video to see (to taste)
- sesame oil - 1 teaspoon (1 teaspoon)
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Drain and cut tofu into 1 in by 1 in pieces. Slice carrot into 1/4 inch thick slices at an angle. Thinly slice the pork across the grain.
- Marinate Pork: Marinate the pork slices with about 1/4 teaspoon of white pepper powder.
- Cook Soup: Turn the stove on high heat and add 4 cups of water to a pot. Add tofu and carrot to the pot and cover with a lid. Once boiling, add salt and the stems of the spinach first as they take longer to cook.
- Add Spinach and Pork: Add spinach, using chopsticks to push it down until fully submerged. After about a minute, uncover the pot and start adding the marinated pork, spreading out the slices to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
- Final Touch: Finish off the dish by adding a teaspoon of sesame oil. Serve immediately, being cautious of the temperature.
