Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the pork ribs and sear them on all sides until golden brown, about 8-10 minutes.
Remove the ribs and set them aside. In the same pot, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 4 minutes.
Add the celery and cook for another 2 minutes. Then, return the pork ribs to the pot.
Pour in the chicken broth, soy sauce, fish sauce, and grated ginger. Stir well and bring to a boil.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the soup simmer for about 60 minutes, or until the ribs are tender and the flavors are well combined.
Add the cubed zucchini and shredded cabbage. Cook for another 10-15 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
Season the soup with salt and black pepper to taste.
Serve the soup hot, garnished with sliced green onions on top.
