PORK SOUP

A simple pork soup consists of very simple ingredients, just like how the local grammas made it in the hood when we were growing up.

3 lbs. of pork belly, sliced thin.
2 cloves of garlic smashed
1 inch ginger smashed
2 tbsp. of minced onion

4 large tomatoes diced
2 large potatoe diced small
3 qts. of filtered water at room temperature
1/4 cup of soy sauce
1/4 cup of vinegar
1 dash of thyme
1 bay leaf cracked in half
1 small head cabbage chopped
Salt and pepper to taste

1. In a pot heat up a little canola oil, and sautee the garlic, ginger, onions, for a few seconds, then add in the pork over medium high heat, brown the pork until all the juices come out.
2. Add in the tomatoes, and diced potatoes, cook for a few minutes, then add in the water, and bring to a boil, then turn down to a simmer.
3.  Add in the soy sauce, vinegr, thyme, bay leaf, and simmer covered for about 45 minutes.
4. Add in the cabbage, and cook until softened, season to taste with salt and pepper.

Serves about 4 good bowls.
