Ingredients
1 pound ground pork
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 small yellow onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
4 cups green cabbage, shredded
1 cup carrots, julienned
6 cups chicken broth
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 green onions, sliced
1 teaspoon sesame seeds
1 teaspoon chili oil, optional
Instructions
1. Heat 1 tablespoon sesame oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the ground pork and cook until browned, breaking it into crumbles as it cooks.
2. Add the diced onion and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until softened. Stir in the garlic and fresh ginger, then cook for 30 seconds.
3. Add the shredded cabbage and carrots. Stir well and cook for 3 minutes so the vegetables begin to soften.
4. Pour in the chicken broth, then stir in the soy sauce, rice vinegar, black pepper, and salt. Bring the soup to a gentle boil.
5. Reduce the heat and let the soup simmer for 12 to 15 minutes until the cabbage is tender and the flavors blend well.
6. Stir in 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil just before serving.
7. Ladle into bowls and garnish with sliced green onions, sesame seeds, and chili oil if desired.
Notes
Use ground chicken or turkey if you want a lighter version without losing the egg roll flavor.
Add the toasted sesame oil at the end so its flavor stays fresh and noticeable.
For the best texture, do not overcook the cabbage or it can become too soft.
