  • 1 lb ground pork
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil

Vegetables & Aromatics

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

Liquids & Sauces

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

Seasonings & 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 over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of sesame oil and allow it to warm up to release its nutty aroma.
  2. Brown the Pork: Add 1 lb of ground pork to the pot. Cook it, breaking it up with a spoon, until the pork is browned and cooked through, creating a flavorful base for the soup.
  3. Sauté Aromatics: Stir in the diced onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger into the browned pork. Sauté for 2-3 minutes or until the onion has softened and the mixture is fragrant.
  4. Add Vegetables: Mix in the shredded cabbage and carrots. Continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften but still retain some crunch.
  5. Add Broth and Seasonings: Pour in 4 cups of chicken broth along with 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce, and 2 teaspoons sriracha if using. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
  6. Simmer the Soup: Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce heat to low and let it simmer gently for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together fully. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Serve and Garnish: Ladle the soup into bowls and top with chopped green onions, fresh cilantro, toasted sesame seeds, and crispy wonton strips if desired for added texture and flavor.
