Lean pork, typically from the shoulder (mui tau), bought as a single piece and blanched whole for the pot. It gives a clean, sweet meat base that flavours the soup without greasing it, and it partners almost every herb and vegetable in the repertoire. The most-reached-for soup meat of all.

In Cantonese food therapy lean pork is used to nourish yin, moisten dryness and replenish deficiency, and tradition regards it as suiting virtually everyone.
Blanch it whole (飛水); you can also slice it and poach the slices for a quick soup.
