# What You'll Need:

→ 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
07 - 6 cups low-sodium chicken broth

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 - If using, 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 Tips:

01 -
  • Everything cooks in one pot so you spend less time cleaning and more time eating
  • You get all those crave worthy egg roll flavors without any deep frying mess
02 -
  • Don't rush the step where you brown the pork because those crispy bits add so much depth to the final soup
  • Wait until the very end to add salt since soy sauce brings plenty of salinity on its own
03 -
  • Slice your cabbage thinly so it cooks evenly and doesn't feel chunky or overwhelming in each spoonful
  • Prep all ingredients before you start cooking because once the pot is hot everything moves pretty fast
