Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head Green cabbage
- 1 block Firm tofu
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 Garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon Ginger
- 6 cups Vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 3 Green onions
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Peel and finely mince the garlic and ginger. Slice the green onions thinly and set aside the green stems for garnish.
Core the cabbage and cut it into bite-sized pieces. Pat the tofu dry with paper towels and cut it into 1-inch cubes.
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the garlic and ginger, sautéing for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the sliced cabbage to the pot and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it softens slightly.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the soup to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes.
Stir in the tofu cubes, soy sauce, and rice vinegar. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the tofu to absorb the flavors.
Season the soup with salt and black pepper to taste. Drizzle in the sesame oil and gently stir.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with the reserved green onion stems. Serve hot and enjoy!
