# Ingredients:

→ Main

01 - 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
02 - 1 pound ground pork
03 - 1 medium onion, diced
04 - 3 cloves garlic, minced
05 - 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
06 - 6 cups chicken broth
07 - 4 cups green cabbage, shredded
08 - 2 medium carrots, thinly sliced or shredded
09 - 3 green onions, sliced, plus extra for garnish
10 - 2 tablespoons soy sauce
11 - 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
12 - 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil (optional)
13 - Salt, to taste
14 - Black pepper, to taste
15 - Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

# Steps:

01 - Heat the oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add ground pork and cook, stirring frequently, until fully browned and no longer pink. Crumble the meat as it cooks.
02 - Add diced onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger to the pot. Sauté, stirring occasionally, until the onion softens and the mixture is fragrant, about 3 minutes.
03 - Pour in chicken broth and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
04 - Stir in shredded cabbage, sliced carrots, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil if using. Mix well to combine all ingredients.
05 - Simmer uncovered until the cabbage and carrots are tender but not mushy, about 12 minutes. Stir occasionally.
06 - Add sliced green onions and stir through. Season with salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes to taste.
07 - Ladle soup into bowls and garnish with extra green onions. Serve hot.

# Notes:

01 - For a lighter option, substitute ground chicken or turkey in place of pork.
