Ingredients

Scale

Proteins

  • 1 lb ground meat (pork, chicken, or turkey)

Vegetables

  • 3 cups finely shredded cabbage
  • 1 cup julienned or grated carrots
  • 4 green onions, thinly sliced (separate white and green parts)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced

Liquids & Sauces

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

Optional

  • Chili flakes, to taste

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Sauté aromatics and meat

    Heat 1 teaspoon sesame oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add minced garlic and ginger, cooking until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add ground meat and break it up with a spoon. Cook until fully cooked and no longer pink.

  2. Step 2: Add vegetables

    Stir in shredded cabbage, carrots, and the white parts of sliced green onions. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables soften slightly but remain crisp to preserve texture and flavor.

  3. Step 3: Pour in broth and seasonings

    Add chicken broth and soy sauce to the pot, stirring to combine evenly. Bring the soup to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5-7 minutes to let flavors meld.

  4. Step 4: Finish and garnish

    Taste the soup and adjust seasonings if needed. Add chili flakes for heat if desired. Stir in the green parts of the scallions just before serving for fresh color and flavor.

Notes

  • Use fresh garlic, ginger, and crisp vegetables for the best flavor.
  • Do not overcook cabbage; it should be slightly crunchy for texture and nutrients.
  • Choose lean ground meat for a less greasy, cleaner-tasting soup.
  • Taste as you go and adjust seasonings gradually for perfect balance.
  • Add a final drizzle of toasted sesame oil to elevate flavors.
