Ingredients

Scale

Soup Base

  • 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 into small pieces with a spoon to ensure even cooking.
  2. Sauté Aromatics: Add diced onion, minced garlic, and grated fresh ginger to the pot. Cook for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and the onion becomes soft and translucent.
  3. Cook Vegetables: Stir in shredded cabbage and shredded carrots. Continue cooking for about 2 minutes until the vegetables start to soften while maintaining some crunch.
  4. Add Liquids and Seasonings: Pour in the chicken broth, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Sprinkle ground black pepper and, if desired, red pepper flakes. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
  5. Simmer the Soup: Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Allow the soup to cook for about 10 minutes so the flavors meld together and the vegetables become tender.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with sliced green onions and optional boiled egg halves. Serve hot for the best flavor and comfort.

Notes

  • You can substitute ground pork with ground chicken or turkey for a lighter version.
  • Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to control the spiciness of the soup.
  • For a vegetarian version, replace ground meat with tofu and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
  • Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 3 days and can be reheated on the stovetop.
  • Adding cooked rice or noodles can make this soup more filling.
