Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound Ground Pork Substitute with 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.)
  • 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.)
  • 1 tablespoon Rice Vinegar Apple cider vinegar is a suitable substitute.
  • Salt and Pepper Season to taste.
  • Red Pepper Flakes or Sriracha optional (For a splash of heat.)

Method
 

Cooking Steps
  1. Heat a large pot over medium heat. Add sesame oil.
  2. Add diced onion and cook until soft, about 3 minutes.
  3. Add garlic and grated ginger. Cook 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Add ground pork. Break it up and cook until no pink remains.
  5. Stir in soy sauce and rice vinegar.
  6. Add chicken broth, shredded carrots, and thinly sliced cabbage. Bring to a boil.
  7. Lower heat and simmer 5 to 7 minutes until vegetables are tender.
  8. Stir in chopped green onions. Taste and add salt and pepper.
  9. If using eggs, beat them in a bowl. Slowly pour beaten eggs into the hot soup while stirring to make egg ribbons.
  10. Add red pepper flakes or sriracha if you want heat. Serve hot.

Notes

Use a large pot so the cabbage has room to soften. Grate fresh ginger for the best flavor. Brown the pork well for more taste. Add the eggs slowly and stir to make thin ribbons. Taste and adjust salt and soy sauce at the end.
