🧂 Ingredients

1 Bring the chicken stock slowly to the boil with the piece of ginger in it.
2 Wash the cucumber and cut off the ends; run the potato peeler lightly over the
skin to remove just the outermost tough layer.
3 Cut lengthwise into quarters and then into matchstick strips.
4 Cut the pork into very thin strips, place in a bowl and dust with the cornflour
mixed with 1/2 tsp salt, rubbing it gently into the pieces of meat.
5 When the chicken stock comes to the boil, add the pork and simmer gently for 4
minutes; add the cucumber and simmer for a further 3 minutes.
6 Taste and correct the seasoning. Remove and discard the piece of ginger.
7 Serve very hot in heated soup bowls.
