Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground pork
- 2 tbsp sesame oil
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp ginger, grated
- 6 green onions, sliced (divided)
- 4 cups shredded green cabbage
- 1 cup carrots, julienned or shredded
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
- to taste salt
- to taste black pepper
Instructions
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground pork and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess grease and set the pork aside in a separate bowl.
In the same pot, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of sesame oil. Stir in the minced garlic, grated ginger, and half of the sliced green onions. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant.
Add the shredded cabbage and carrots to the pot. Stir to combine and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the vegetables begin to soften.
Pour in the soy sauce and chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Let the soup simmer for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Stir in the cooked pork and 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar. Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper, as needed.
Serve the soup hot, garnished with the remaining sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds, if desired. Enjoy!
