Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1/2 lb ground pork (or ground chicken)
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
  • 2 cups shredded cabbage
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Garnish

  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 1 boiled egg, halved (optional)

Instructions

  1. Brown the meat: In a large pot, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the ground pork or chicken and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon to ensure even cooking.
  2. Sauté aromatics: Add the diced onion, minced garlic, and grated fresh ginger to the pot. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and the onion becomes soft and translucent.
  3. Cook vegetables: Stir in the shredded cabbage and carrots. Cook for another 2 minutes, allowing the vegetables to soften slightly while retaining some crunch.
  4. Add liquids and seasoning: Pour in the chicken broth, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Sprinkle ground black pepper and, if desired, red pepper flakes for heat.
  5. Simmer the soup: Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat. Let it cook for 10-15 minutes until the vegetables are tender and the flavors meld together.
  6. Serve and garnish: Serve the soup hot, garnished with sliced green onions and optional halved boiled eggs for added richness and presentation.

Notes

  • Use fresh ginger and garlic for the best aromatic flavor.
  • Do not overcook the vegetables; they should retain some crunch for texture.
  • Customize the spice level by adjusting or omitting red pepper flakes.
  • Substitute ground chicken or mushrooms for a lighter or vegetarian option.
  • Use low-sodium soy sauce to reduce sodium content if desired.
  • Add noodles like rice or egg noodles for a heartier soup variation.
  • This soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.
