Ingredients

Start by preparing 1 liter of chicken stock. We would need 3 large potatoes, 3 carrot and 2 tablespoon of rice wine vinegar. 25g of corn flour for the paste. Next, we would need 100g of pork fillet that is sliced into thin layers and $5 bucks worth of pork bones. Prepare 1 tablespoon light soy sauce and sesame oil. Then get hold of 3 spring onions, all thinly sliced, 1 red pepper without the seeds, a few pinch of chopped fresh root ginger(optional) and lastly 200g canned bamboo shoots(optional).

Methods

Get ready a heavy saucepan and start by heating it up. Then pour in the chicken stock and let it heat up. As it is about to boil, add in potatoes and vinegar. Wait for it to boil again then reduce the heat until the stock is simmering. Once this is done, proceed to mix the corn flour with water. This will create a paste, then stir and pour it into the hot stock. Increase the heat and wait for the stock to boil. Keep on stirring until the stock gets thickened, then only reduce the heat. Let is simmer again. Meanwhile, season the pork with the remaining vinegar, soy sauce and sesame oil in a plate or dish. Then add in the pork, carrot and ginger to the stock and cook for 10 minutes. Lastly, put in the spring onions, pepper and bamboo shoots and stir it. Continue cooking for 5 minutes and is ready to serve.
