Cooking StepsHow to cook Tomato Velvety Pork Soup step by step
-
Step 1If using frozen tomatoes, soak them in cold water for a while.
-
Step 2Soak until the skin cracks, then peel — it comes off very easily.
-
Step 3While still partially frozen, cut into pieces. Be careful as tomatoes can be slippery.
-
Step 4Heat oil in a pot, add scallion and garlic and sauté until fragrant, then add the tomatoes.
-
Step 5Once the tomatoes break down into a saucy consistency, add tomato paste — use more if you prefer a thicker soup.
-
Step 6Add salt and light soy sauce. Adding salt early helps the tomatoes break down better.
-
Step 7Add mushroom seasoning, then pour in hot water.
-
Step 8Add the vegetables and cook for 1–2 minutes.
-
Step 9Meanwhile, marinate the sliced pork with white pepper powder, ginger powder, and a pinch of salt, then coat with a thin starch slurry.
-
Step 10When the water is at a gentle simmer, slide the pork slices in one by one.
-
Step 11Once all slices are in, cook for 1–2 minutes until they turn opaque and translucent. The slices are thin, so they don’t need long.
-
Step 12This is what the cooked pork looks like.
-
Step 13Add the pork slices to the pot, cover, and simmer for about 3 more minutes.
-
Step 14When the broth has thickened, sprinkle with chopped scallions and serve. If it is not thick enough, you can add a light cornstarch slurry to finish.
-
Step 15The soup is rich and the pork is tender — everything is coated in a flavorful broth. Absolutely delicious.
