Servings: persons

2 medium cloves garlic, peeled
1/4 cup finely-chopped cilantro stems or 2 cilantro roots, chopped
1/2 teaspoon whole white peppercorns
1/2 pound ground pork (with 20% fat for maximum flavor)
1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons light soy sauce
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon fish sauce
4 1/2 cups water or low sodium homemade broth made with chicken carcasses or pork bones, or low-sodium store bought broth
1 pound firm tofu packed in water, drained and cut into 1-inch cubes
2 green onions, cut into 1-inch pieces
1/4 cup cilantro leaves

1
In a mortar or a small chopper, make a fine paste out of the garlic, cilantro stems/roots, and peppercorns.
2
Place the ground pork into a mixing bowl and add to it the prepared paste. Add 2 teaspoons of soy sauce and 1 teaspoon of fish sauce. Mix until homogenous; set aside.
3
Bring water to a boil in a large saucepan. Reduce to a simmer. Form pork paste into 1-inch balls and gently drop into simmering water. Repeat until all the pork paste is gone. Cook until pork balls float, about 2 minutes.
4
Add the remaining soy sauce and fish sauce to the broth. Gently add the tofu cubes to the broth; return to a simmer, then add the green onions and remove from heat immediately. Adjust the seasoning as necessary with more fish sauce.
5
Ladle soup into a serving bowl. Garnish with cilantro leaves. Some freshly-ground white pepper on top is optional, but recommended. Serve hot with steamed jasmine rice.
