Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground pork
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 4 cups green cabbage, shredded
  • 1 cup carrots, julienned
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional toppings: crispy wonton strips, sesame seeds, sriracha, sliced green onions

Instructions

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a large pot over medium heat.
  2. Add 1 pound of ground pork to the pot. Break it up with a wooden spoon and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove any excess grease if needed.
  3. Add 3 minced garlic cloves and 1 tablespoon of grated fresh ginger to the pot. SautΓ© for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, taking care not to burn them.
  4. Stir in 4 cups of shredded cabbage and 1 cup of julienned carrots. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften.
  5. Pour in 6 cups of chicken broth, 1/4 cup of soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar. Stir well to combine all the flavors.
  6. Bring the soup to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Let it cook for 10 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the flavors are well blended.
  7. Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste. If you like a little heat, add a dash of sriracha or red pepper flakes.
  8. Serve hot, garnished with sliced green onions, crispy wonton strips, sesame seeds, or an extra drizzle of sesame oil.

Notes

For a thicker soup, dissolve 1 tablespoon of cornstarch in 2 tablespoons of water and stir it into the pot during the last 5 minutes of cooking. Adjust seasoning to taste and add crispy wonton strips for extra crunch.
