Ingredients

Scale

Protein and Vegetables

  • 1 lb ground pork
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1-inch piece ginger, grated
  • 1 cup shredded cabbage
  • 1 cup shredded carrots

Liquids and Sauces

  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
  • 2 teaspoons sriracha (optional, for heat)

Seasonings and Garnishes

  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
  • Crispy wonton strips for topping (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat the Oil: In a large pot, warm 2 tablespoons of sesame oil over medium heat to prepare for cooking the pork and aromatics.
  2. Cook the Ground Pork: Add 1 lb of ground pork to the pot and cook it thoroughly, breaking it apart with a spoon until browned and no longer pink.
  3. Sauté Aromatics: Stir in the diced onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the onions soften and the mixture becomes fragrant.
  4. Add Vegetables: Mix in the shredded cabbage and carrots. Continue to cook for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still have some texture.
  5. Combine Broth and Sauces: Pour in 4 cups of chicken broth, then add 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce, and 2 teaspoons sriracha if you like some heat. Stir well to combine.
  6. Simmer the Soup: Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to a low simmer. Cook for 10 minutes to allow all flavors to meld together. Season with salt and pepper to your taste.
  7. Serve and Garnish: Ladle the hot soup into bowls and top each serving with chopped green onions, cilantro, toasted sesame seeds, and crispy wonton strips if desired.

Notes

  • You can substitute ground pork with ground chicken or turkey for a lighter variation.
  • Adjust the sriracha amount according to your spice preference or omit it for a milder soup.
  • For a vegetarian or vegan version, use vegetable broth and tofu instead of pork.
  • Crispy wonton strips add a delightful crunch, but you can omit them if you prefer gluten-free or low-carb options.
  • Leftover soup can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
