My husband grew up in a traditional Asian household and gives this soup high marks for authentic taste. I think the Asian hot chili sauce is what makes the dish, but any type of hot sauce would give it a delicious kick! —Kari Sue, Bend, Oregon

Test Kitchen tips
  • Adding the edamame toward the end of cooking keeps the color brighter.
  • Cooking the pork in batches keeps the pan from being too crowded. Overcrowding creates steam that prevents the meat from browning.
  • Health Tip: If this soup is too rich for your diet, use pork shoulder instead of pork ribs. It’s leaner, but will still cook up tender and flavorful.
