Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons canola oil
  • 1 lb pork tenderloin cut into bite sized pieces
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 8 ounces mushrooms button, sliced
  • 4 cups chicken stock
  • 2 cups kale stems removed, coarsely chopped
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons ginger peeled and minced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 6 ounces udon noodles or whole wheat fettuccini or spaghetti
  • radishes for garnish, optional
  • green onions for garnish, optional

Instructions

  • Set the pressure cooker to sauté and add the oil. When the oil is hot and just barely smoking, add the pork. Cook, stirring frequently, until the pork is browned - about 4-6 minutes.
  • Add the onion and cook for about 3 minutes or until the onion is softened. Add the mushrooms and cook for about 3 more minutes.
  • Add the chicken stock, kale, water, ginger, garlic, red pepper flakes and black pepper.
  • Cancel the sauté feature and lock the lid in place. Be sure the vent is set to sealing. Set the pressure to high and the time for 10 minutes.
  • While the soup is cooking, cook the noodles according to package directions.
  • When the time is up, let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes then do a quick pressure release by turning the knob to venting. When the pressure valve drops, remove the lid, stir and taste to adjust seasonings.
  • Divide the noodles between the bowls and ladle the soup on top. Serve with radishes and green onions if desired.

Notes

This is a very basic soup.  You can easily change it up by adding a bit of soy sauce or fish sauce or chili paste. 
Besides radishes and green onions, you could also garnish with fresh cilantro or sprouts.
