A colorful and flavorful soup that cooks in minutes.

Ingredients

8 cups Chicken broth or stock

5 Carrots, thinly sliced on the diagonal

3/4 lb Pork tenderloin, cut into 2x1/4-in strips

6 ozs Vermicelli, broken in half

1-2 cans (8oz) sliced water chestnuts, drained and rinsed

6 ozs Fresh snow peas, trimmed and sliced diagonally in half

4 tbsp Rice-wine vinegar

1 1/2 tsp Pickled ginger, chopped

1 1/2 tbsp Tamari sauce

3 tsp Asian (dark) sesame oil

6 Scallions, sliced (white and light green)

3 tbsp Sesame seeds, toasted

Preparation

Bring the broth or stock to a boil in a dutch oven. Add the carrots and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in the pork and vermicelli; return to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until the pork and vermicelli are cooked through, about 3 minutes.

Add the water chestnuts, snow peas, vinegar, ginger, tamari sauce, and oil; return to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the snow peas are crisp-tender, about 1 minute. Serve sprinkled with the scallions and sesame seeds.
