This thick and rich pork shoulder soup with rice noodles and bok choy is made in a slow cooker, where all the flavors of the ingredients and spices of Chinese cuisine meld over a long period of time at low heat. First, the whole pork shoulder is simmered in a spiced broth, and a few minutes before the soup is ready, the noodles and cabbage are added to the slow cooker. When the soup is ready, the meat will easily separate into fibers. The result is a warming and nutritious dish with a unique aroma and finish, imparted by the combination of ginger and star anise.

• 1.3 kg boneless pork shoulder
• 3 cups lightly salted chicken broth
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 tbsp. Chinese rice wine or dry sherry

• 4 cloves garlic, crushed
