Ingredients
Scale
Proteins
- 1 pound ground pork or turkey
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
Vegetables
- 3 cups shredded cabbage
- 1 cup grated carrots
- 4 green onions, sliced (white and green parts separated)
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon grated ginger
Liquids and Oils
- 6 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 3 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
Optional Add-ins
- 1 cup cooked rice noodles, udon, or cooked rice (optional, for a more filling soup)
- Red pepper flakes or sriracha for spice (optional)
- Additional greens like spinach, bok choy, or kale (optional)
Instructions
- Cook the Meat and Aromatics: Brown the ground meat in a large wide pot over medium heat, breaking it apart until fully cooked. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing for about one minute until fragrant to build the flavorful base.
- Add Vegetables and Broth: Stir in the shredded cabbage, grated carrots, and the white parts of the green onions. Pour in the broth and soy sauce, then mix everything well. Bring the soup to a gentle boil so the vegetables soften slightly but stay crisp.
- Simmer and Season: Reduce the heat and simmer the soup uncovered for 10 minutes to deepen the flavors. Taste and adjust seasoning by adding more soy sauce or a dash of sesame oil for extra richness.
- Add the Egg: Slowly drizzle the beaten eggs into the simmering soup while gently stirring to create delicate egg ribbons, adding soft texture to the soup.
- Final Touches: Stir the soup one last time and let it rest for a minute before serving. Garnish with the green parts of the sliced green onions and a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds or chili oil if desired.
Notes
- Use fresh garlic and ginger for the best flavor.
- Do not overcook the vegetables; keep cabbage and carrots slightly crunchy.
- Add eggs slowly and stir gently for perfect egg ribbons.
- Adjust the soy sauce and seasoning after simmering as broth reduces.
- A wide pot helps cook the vegetables evenly and makes stirring easier.
