Step 1
Toast dried chiles in a large pot over medium heat for 30 seconds until fragrant, shaking the pan. Remove, discard stems and seeds, then soak in 1 cup hot broth for 5 minutes.
Step 2
Blend soaked chiles with soaking liquid until smooth. Strain through a fine mesh to remove any bits.
Step 3
Heat oil in the same pot over medium-high. Brown pork cubes in batches, 3–4 minutes per batch, until edges are golden. Don't stir constantly — let them sear.
Step 4
Pour in remaining broth and chile puree. Add smashed garlic and cumin. Bring to a boil, then lower heat and simmer 8 minutes until pork is tender.
Step 5
Stir in drained hominy and juice of 1 lime. Simmer 2 more minutes until hominy is heated through.
Step 6
Ladle into bowls. Top with thinly sliced radishes, jalapeños, cilantro, lime wedges, and crispy tortilla strips.
