# Required ingredients:

→ Soup Base

01 - 1 pound ground pork
02 - 4 cloves garlic, minced
03 - 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, grated
04 - 1 tablespoon soy sauce
05 - 1 tablespoon sesame oil
06 - 1 medium yellow onion, diced

12 - Salt and freshly ground black pepper
13 - 2 large eggs, beaten
14 - Red pepper flakes or sriracha

# How to make it:

01 - Heat a large pot over medium-high heat. Add ground pork and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, for 5–7 minutes until browned and no longer pink. Drain excess fat if necessary.
02 - Add diced onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger to the pork. Sauté for 3–4 minutes until onions are translucent and aromatic.
03 - Stir in soy sauce, sesame oil, and rice vinegar. Mix well to coat the pork and aromatics.
04 - Pour in chicken broth and bring to a gentle boil.
05 - Add shredded carrots and thinly sliced cabbage. Reduce heat and simmer for 10–15 minutes, until vegetables are tender.
06 - Slowly drizzle in the beaten eggs while gently stirring the soup in a circular motion to create silky egg ribbons.
07 - Taste and adjust with salt and black pepper as needed. Ladle soup into bowls and top with reserved green onions. Add red pepper flakes or sriracha if desired.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Everything happens in one pot so cleanup is minimal and the flavors develop together beautifully
  • It delivers all the comfort of egg roll filling in soup form without any deep frying or rolling required
02 -
  • Do not skip draining excess fat from the pork or the soup will end up greasy and heavy
  • The cabbage will continue to soften as it sits so err on the side of slightly undercooking if you are planning leftovers
03 -
  • Grate your ginger against the grain so you do not end up with tough fibrous strings in your soup
  • Let the broth come to room temperature before refrigerating or the cabbage will continue cooking in the residual heat
