Ingredients

Scale

Protein and Aromatics

  • 1 pound Ground Pork (substitute with ground chicken or turkey if desired)
  • 4 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Ginger, grated (ground ginger can be used in a pinch)
  • 1 medium Yellow Onion, diced (shallots for milder flavor)

Liquids and Seasonings

  • 1 tablespoon Soy Sauce (use gluten-free tamari if needed)
  • 1 tablespoon Sesame Oil
  • 6 cups Chicken Broth, low sodium (vegetable broth for vegetarian option)
  • 1 tablespoon Rice Vinegar (apple cider vinegar as a substitute)
  • Salt and Pepper, to taste

Vegetables

  • 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 (reserve some for garnish)

Optional

  • 2 Beaten Eggs (optional for egg swirl)
  • Red Pepper Flakes or Sriracha (optional for 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 to keep the soup light.
  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 the mixture is aromatic, releasing their flavors into the pan.
  3. Add Seasonings and Broth: Stir in the soy sauce, sesame oil, and rice vinegar, combining thoroughly with the pork and aromatics. Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a gentle boil to develop the soup base.
  4. Add Vegetables and Simmer: Once the broth is bubbling, add the shredded carrots and thinly sliced green cabbage. Reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer gently for about 15 minutes, allowing vegetables to soften and flavors to meld.
  5. Incorporate Eggs (Optional): If using eggs, slowly drizzle in the beaten eggs while gently stirring the soup in a circular motion. This creates delicate egg ribbons that add texture and protein to your soup.
  6. Season and Garnish: Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Serve hot, topped with the remaining chopped green onions and optional red pepper flakes or sriracha for a touch of heat.

Notes

  • For the best texture, store leftovers without the egg swirl to prevent overcooking during reheating.
  • Thaw overnight before reheating for even temperature.
  • Ground chicken or turkey can be substituted for pork for a leaner option.
  • Use gluten-free tamari soy sauce and vegetable broth to make this recipe vegetarian and gluten-free.
  • Optional egg swirl can be omitted for a lighter soup, maintaining protein with the ground meat or substitute.
