Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground pork
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 4 cups green cabbage, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup green onions, chopped (divided)
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 beaten eggs
  • Red pepper flakes or sriracha, optional

Instructions

  1. Brown the ground pork in a large pot over medium heat, breaking it apart with a spoon until fully cooked and slightly crispy.
  2. Add the aromatics, including minced garlic, grated ginger, and diced yellow onion, cooking until fragrant and the onions become translucent.
  3. Build the soup base by pouring in the chicken broth, soy sauce, sesame oil, and rice vinegar. Stir well to combine, then bring to a simmer.
  4. Add vegetables, including shredded carrots and thinly sliced cabbage. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, until the cabbage is tender yet still vibrant.
  5. Optional egg swirl: Gradually drizzle the beaten eggs into the soup while stirring gently to create lovely ribbons of egg throughout.
  6. Final seasoning: Taste and adjust with salt and pepper as desired. Serve hot, garnished with chopped green onions and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes or a dash of sriracha if you fancy a bit of heat.

Notes

For a vegetarian option, substitute ground pork with crumbled tofu or a plant-based meat alternative.
