03 - 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, grated
04 - 1 tablespoon soy sauce
05 - 1 tablespoon sesame oil

13 - 2 large eggs, beaten
14 - Red pepper flakes or sriracha to taste

# Directions:

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 Suggestions:

01 -
  • Everything cooks in one pot so you spend less time washing dishes and more time eating
  • The flavors get better overnight making it perfect for meal prep lunches
  • You get all the comfort of egg rolls without deep frying or rolling wrappers
02 -
  • Cabbage releases a lot of water as it cooks, so your soup might seem thinner than expected at first but will thicken beautifully as it sits
  • The ginger flavor mellows significantly during cooking, so don't be afraid to add a little extra if you love that spicy warmth
  • Eggs can turn rubbery if the soup is boiling violently when you add them, so make sure it's at a gentle simmer first
03 -
  • Grate your ginger from frozen, it's easier to grate and you can store the piece in the freezer indefinitely
  • Use a vegetable peeler to create long ribbons of carrots instead of shredding them for a more elegant presentation
  • Keep a bottle of toasted sesame oil at the table so everyone can add an extra drizzle to their own bowl
