Ingredients

Scale

Protein and Vegetables

  • 1 pound ground pork or chicken (or firm tofu for vegetarian)
  • 3 cups shredded cabbage
  • 1 cup grated carrots
  • 4 green onions, sliced thin (separate white and green parts)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced

Broth and Seasonings

  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil

Optional

  • 4 ounces egg noodles or rice noodles
  • Red pepper flakes or sriracha to taste (for spicy variation)
  • Additional vegetables like snap peas, baby corn, or bell peppers as desired
  • Cornstarch slurry (1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water) for thickening broth

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Finely shred the cabbage and grate the carrots. Slice the green onions thinly, keeping the white and green parts separate. Mince the garlic and ginger thoroughly to release their flavors during cooking.
  2. Cook the Protein: Heat a teaspoon of oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the ground meat or tofu and cook until browned and cooked through, breaking it up for even texture.
  3. Sauté the Aromatics and Vegetables: Add the minced garlic, ginger, and the white parts of the green onions to the pot. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Then add shredded cabbage and grated carrots and sauté until slightly softened but still crunchy.
  4. Add the Broth and Seasonings: Pour in the chicken broth along with soy sauce and a drizzle of sesame oil. Bring to a simmer and let the flavors meld while vegetables soften further.
  5. Optional Noodles and Final Touches: If using noodles, add them now and cook until tender. Garnish with the green onion tops before serving for freshness and color.

Notes

  • Use fresh, crisp vegetables to maintain vibrant flavor and satisfying crunch.
  • Add noodles at the end and avoid overcooking to prevent mushiness.
  • Cook garlic and ginger gently to release aroma without burning.
  • Adjust soy sauce and seasonings gradually to control saltiness.
  • Keep some vegetables slightly firm for great texture contrast.
