Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground pork (or ground turkey/chicken)
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil (or vegetable oil)
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp ginger, minced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups shredded cabbage (green or Napa cabbage)
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/2 cup sliced green onions (plus extra for garnish)
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
  • 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp water (optional, for a thicker soup)

Optional Toppings:

  • Crispy wonton strips
  • Sesame seeds
  • Additional green onions

Instructions

1. Cook the Pork:

  1. Heat sesame oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
  2. Add the ground pork and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and fully cooked. Drain excess fat if necessary.

2. Sauté the Aromatics:

  1. Add the diced onion, garlic, and ginger to the pot. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, until fragrant and the onion is softened.

3. Add Broth and Vegetables:

  1. Pour in the chicken broth, soy sauce, and rice vinegar. Stir well.
  2. Add the shredded cabbage, carrots, and sliced green onions. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer.

4. Simmer the Soup:

  1. Let the soup simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
  2. If using, stir in the cornstarch slurry to thicken the soup slightly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the soup thickens.

5. Serve:

  1. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with crispy wonton strips, sesame seeds, and extra green onions, if desired.

Notes

  • Protein Variations: Substitute ground pork with ground chicken, turkey, or even crumbled tofu for a vegetarian option.
  • Extra Veggies: Add mushrooms, bell peppers, or bean sprouts for more variety.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop.
