Cook the vegetable soup
You place a pot on the stove, wait for it to heat up, then add 1 tablespoon of cooking oil. When the oil is hot, add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, then add the pork and stir-fry briefly until it is firm.
Next, you season the pot with 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of seasoning powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of sugar, then continue to stir the meat a few more times before adding 1 liter of water to the pot.
You cook for about 15 minutes until the meat is done, remember to skim off the foam to keep the soup clear and make it look more appealing. After the meat is cooked, add the vegetable into the pot, stirring until the vegetables are evenly cooked.
You simmer until the soup boils again, then adjust the seasoning to taste and add chopped green onions before turning off the heat.
Tip: Before adding the vegetable to the soup, you can crush it a little; this will help the soup become sweeter, and the vegetable will be softer, eliminating any gritty feeling while eating.
