Let’s Get Cooking!
Now that we’ve rounded up all our ingredients, let’s get this cooking party started!
Start by heating the sesame oil in a large pot over medium heat. As it warms, get the aroma flowing through your kitchen. You’re going to want to inhale this!
Once the oil is hot, add the diced onions and cook until translucent, that’s about 3-4 minutes stirring occasionally to ensure nothing burns. You want them sweet and soft!
Next, toss in the minced garlic and grated ginger. Cook until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Oh man, the scent is amazing already.
Add the ground pork to the pot, breaking it apart with your spatula. Cook until browned and no longer pink, stirring every so often, maybe about 5-6 minutes. I can’t emphasize enough how savory this is going to smell.
It’s time to stir in the soy sauce and that fabulous rice vinegar. Just a couple pinches of salt and pepper will do! Scrape the yummy bits off the bottom of the pot to unlock all those delicious flavors!
Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a simmer. Then reduce the heat to low. This is where it really comes together!
Once it’s simmering, add the shredded carrots and green cabbage. Stir it well, making sure the veggies are submerged in all that wonderful broth. Now let’s cover it and simmer for about 5-10 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender and vibrant.
If you decided to add the beaten eggs, slowly pour them in as you stir the soup gently. This creates lovely little ribbons of egg that make everything just that much nicer.
Finally, stir in the chopped green onions and adjust your seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed!
Serve this amazing soup right away, garnishing with extra green onions and, if you like, a dash of red pepper flakes or Sriracha for that perfect kick!
