Ingredients
Scale
Proteins and Aromatics
- 1 lb ground pork
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, grated
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 2 eggs, beaten
Vegetables
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 4 cups green cabbage, thinly sliced
- ½ cup green onions, chopped (divided)
Liquids and Seasonings
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Red pepper flakes or sriracha to taste
Instructions
- Brown the Pork: Heat a large soup pot over medium-high heat and add the ground pork. Break the meat apart with a wooden spoon and cook for 5-7 minutes until browned and no longer pink. Season the pork with salt and pepper, then drain any excess fat if needed.
- Sauté Aromatics: Add the diced onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger to the pot with the pork. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the mixture is fragrant and the onions start to soften.
- Add Liquids: Stir in the soy sauce, sesame oil, and rice vinegar. Pour in the chicken broth and bring the soup to a gentle boil over medium-high heat.
- Simmer Vegetables: Add the shredded carrots and thinly sliced green cabbage to the pot. Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the soup simmer for 15 minutes or until the vegetables become tender. Stir in half of the chopped green onions during this step.
- Add Egg Ribbons: Slowly drizzle the beaten eggs into the simmering soup while stirring gently in a circular motion to create delicate egg ribbons throughout the broth.
- Season and Serve: Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or soy sauce if needed. Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with the remaining green onions, and add red pepper flakes or sriracha to taste for an extra kick.
Notes
- You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for ground pork for a leaner option.
- Adjust the amount of garlic and ginger to your taste preference.
- Adding more rice vinegar enhances the tangy flavor similar to traditional egg roll dipping sauce.
- The egg ribbons can be made fluffier by whipping the eggs lightly before adding.
- This soup keeps well refrigerated for up to 3 days and can be frozen for up to 2 months.
- Remove excess fat after browning pork to keep the soup from becoming greasy.
- Use gluten-free soy sauce if a gluten-free version is needed.
