Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground pork (or alternatives like ground chicken or turkey)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium white onion, peeled and diced
  • 2 medium carrots, peeled and diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small green cabbage, chopped into bite-sized pieces
  • 6–8 cups chicken or vegetable stock
  • 2 teaspoons ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil

Optional Toppings

  • Toasted sesame seeds
  • Thinly-sliced green onions
  • Homemade fried egg roll wrappers or store-bought wonton strips

Instructions

  1. Brown the pork: Add ground pork to a large stockpot and cook over medium heat for 5-6 minutes, stirring and flipping occasionally, until the pork is lightly browned. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the pork to a separate plate and set aside.
  2. Sauté vegetables: Add olive oil and diced onion to the same pot and stir to combine. Sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until the onion softens. Add diced carrots and minced garlic, then sauté for 2 more minutes, stirring occasionally to meld flavors.
  3. Add remaining ingredients and simmer: Stir in chopped cabbage, chicken or vegetable stock, ground ginger, and the cooked pork. Continue cooking until the soup reaches a simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and let it simmer for 15 minutes or until carrots and cabbage are tender.
  4. Finalize the soup: Stir in toasted sesame oil. Taste and season the soup with several generous pinches of salt and black pepper, adjusting to your preference.
  5. Serve: Ladle the warm soup into bowls and garnish with desired toppings such as toasted sesame seeds, sliced green onions, or crispy fried egg roll wrappers or wonton strips. Refrigerate leftovers in sealed containers for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.

Notes

  • Ground pork can be substituted with ground chicken, turkey, or tofu for a different protein option.
  • Use vegetable stock for a vegetarian version, but omit the pork or replace with plant-based protein.
  • To make homemade fried egg roll wrappers, cut egg roll dough into strips and shallow fry until crispy.
  • Adjust the amount of stock to achieve your preferred soup consistency, using more for a brothier soup.
  • This soup freezes well; thaw completely before reheating gently on the stove.
