Pork Soup with Bamboo Shoots and Cloud Ear Mushrooms
  1. 1

    Put the mushrooms in a small bowl and cover them with water. Let them soak until softened, about 15 minutes. Drain and cut into bite-size pieces.

  2. 2

    Bring 1 1/2 cup water to a boil in a pot. Add the pork and bamboo shots. Cook, skimming off any fat that rises to the surface, until the pork is tender, 5 to 10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Combine the sugar, sake, soy sauce, black rice vinegar, and chile paste in a small bowl. Stir this mixture into the pot. Reduce the heat to low and simmer the soup, covered, about 10 minutes.

  4. 4

    Stir the mushroom pieces into the soup. Crack in the eggs and cook, covered, until the whites are firm and the yolks have thickened but are not hard, 2 1/2 to 3 minutes. Drizzle sesame oil over the soup before serving.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe

easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.

The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.

Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.

Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
