Water
Slice the chilli thinly widthways. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Trim the spring onion then thinly slice. Thinly slice the shiitake mushrooms.
Heat a large frying pan on a medium-high heat, with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the pork mince, and fry until golden, 5-6 mins. Use a wooden spoon to break it up as it cooks. Halfway through, add the garlic and ginger puree. If you’d like to, season with salt and pepper. When fully cooked, remove the pork mixture from the pan and put to the side. IMPORTANT: The pork is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
Whilst the pork cooks, trim the carrot (no need to peel). Trim the courgette. Use a vegetable peeler to peel long ribbons from all sides of the length of the carrot and courgette. Stop when you get to the centre of the carrot and spongy centre of the courgette.
Boil a full kettle. Place the pan back on a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the carrot and courgette. Fry, stirring occasionally, until softened, 3-4 mins.
Return the pork mince back to the pan. Add the shiitakes, tamari, sesame oil, mushroom broth paste and boiled water from the kettle (see ingredients for amounts). Season with salt and pepper. Bring to the boil and simmer, 2-3 mins.
Divide the Chinese pork soup between your bowls. Top with the chilli. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and spring onion.
