Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 pound ground pork or ground chicken
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 small onion, diced
- 4 cups shredded green cabbage
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 green onions, sliced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat and brown meat: Heat sesame oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the ground pork and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks to ensure even cooking.
- Sauté aromatics: Add the grated fresh ginger, minced garlic, and diced onion to the pot. Sauté for 2–3 minutes until the mixture is fragrant and the onion softens.
- Add vegetables: Stir in the shredded green cabbage and shredded carrots. Cook for another 4–5 minutes until the vegetables begin to wilt, enhancing their flavor and texture.
- Season the soup: Pour in the low-sodium soy sauce, rice vinegar, and crushed red pepper flakes if using. Stir to evenly distribute the seasonings throughout the soup.
- Simmer: Add the chicken broth to the pot and bring the soup to a simmer. Reduce heat and let it simmer gently for 10–15 minutes to allow flavors to meld together beautifully.
- Adjust seasoning and serve: Taste the soup and season with salt and pepper as needed. Serve hot, garnished with sliced green onions for a fresh, vibrant finish.
Notes
- For a low-carb version, swap ground pork with ground turkey and replace soy sauce with coconut aminos to reduce sodium and carbs.
- Add cooked rice noodles or crispy wonton strips to make the soup heartier and more filling.
- To make it spicier, increase the amount of crushed red pepper flakes or add a splash of sriracha.
- This soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop or microwave.
