Ingredients

Scale

For the Soup Base

  • 1 pound Ground Pork (substitute ground chicken or turkey if desired)
  • 4 cloves Garlic (minced)
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Ginger (grated; ground ginger can work in a pinch)
  • 1 tablespoon Soy Sauce (use gluten-free tamari if needed)
  • 1 tablespoon Sesame Oil
  • 1 medium Yellow Onion (diced; shallots work for a milder flavor)
  • 6 cups Chicken Broth (low sodium; vegetable broth for vegetarian options)

For the Crunch

  • 1 cup Shredded Carrots (can be swapped for red bell pepper)
  • 4 cups Green Cabbage (thinly sliced; Napa cabbage is a great alternative)
  • 1/2 cup Green Onions (chopped; hold back some for garnish)

For the Finishing Touches

  • 1 tablespoon Rice Vinegar (apple cider vinegar is a suitable substitute)
  • Salt and Pepper (to taste)
  • 2 Beaten Eggs (optional; omit if you prefer a lighter dish)
  • Red Pepper Flakes or Sriracha (optional; for a splash of heat)

Instructions

  1. Brown the Meat: In a large pot, heat over medium-high heat and add the ground pork. Cook for about 5–7 minutes, stirring frequently until the meat is browned and no longer pink. Drain any excess fat.
  2. Sauté Aromatics: Add the diced yellow onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger to the pot with the browned pork. Sauté for 3–4 minutes until the onions are translucent and aromatic.
  3. Add Sauces and Broth: Stir in the soy sauce, sesame oil, and rice vinegar, combining well with the pork and aromatics. Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
  4. Add Vegetables and Simmer: Once the broth is bubbling, add the shredded carrots and thinly sliced green cabbage. Reduce heat and let the soup simmer for about 15 minutes.
  5. Incorporate Eggs (Optional): If you’re adding eggs, slowly drizzle in the beaten eggs while gently stirring the soup in a circular motion to create egg ribbons.
  6. Season and Serve: Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Serve topped with remaining chopped green onions and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes or sriracha if desired.

Notes

  • Ground chicken or turkey can be used instead of pork for a lighter version.
  • Use gluten-free tamari in place of soy sauce for a gluten-free version.
  • Vegetable broth can be substituted for chicken broth to make it vegetarian.
  • Omit eggs for a lighter soup or if preferred.
  • Adjust red pepper flakes or sriracha to your desired spice level.
  • Shredded carrots can be swapped with red bell pepper for a different crunch.
  • Napa cabbage is a great alternative to green cabbage for a milder taste.
