Ingredients

Scale

Protein

  • 1/2 lb ground pork (or ground chicken)
  • 1 boiled egg, halved (optional, for garnish)

Vegetables

  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
  • 2 cups shredded cabbage
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots
  • 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)

Liquids and Oils

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil

Spices

  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook the meat: In a large pot, heat 1 tablespoon of 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. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the onion softens and the mixture becomes fragrant.
  3. Add vegetables: Stir in the shredded cabbage and carrots. Continue cooking for about 2 minutes, allowing the vegetables to slightly soften while retaining some crunch.
  4. Combine broth and seasonings: Pour in 3 cups of chicken broth, then add soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and ground black pepper. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
  5. Simmer the soup: Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat. If desired, add red pepper flakes for spice. Let the soup simmer gently for 10-15 minutes until the vegetables are tender and the flavors meld together.
  6. Serve and garnish: Ladle the hot soup into bowls. Garnish with sliced green onions and optional halved boiled eggs for added richness and presentation. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use fresh garlic and ginger for the most aromatic and flavorful soup.
  • Avoid overcooking the vegetables to maintain some crunch and vibrant color.
  • Adjust the broth simmering time to intensify or lighten the flavor to your preference.
  • Customize by adding mushrooms, tofu, or noodles for different variations.
  • For a spicier version, increase red pepper flakes or add chili paste or sriracha.
  • Opt for low-sodium soy sauce or vegetable broth to reduce sodium content.
  • Egg garnish is optional but adds extra protein and creaminess.
