Ingredients needed 4 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Sauté the pork in oil until the premium soy sauce is nearly bubbling—this ensures the entire broth absorbs a deep, grilled flavor.
  • A tiny amount of fresh ginger goes a long way in eliminating the pork’s natural odor while enhancing the soup’s refreshing quality.
  • Simmer for at least 30 minutes to allow the radish’s sweet, crisp texture and the pork’s rich juices to fully blend into the broth.
  • Avoid adding gochujang when adjusting seasoning—it darkens the broth too much. Use seasoning salt instead for a clean, refreshing taste.

Recommended for

  • Those seeking a different level of clarity and refreshment in their broth compared to traditional beef neck soup.
  • Home cooks looking to make a hearty, family-friendly soup using affordable pork shoulder.
  • Anyone needing a refreshing and cleansing hangover remedy.
