Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Aromatics

  • 1 lb ground meat 
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1-inch piece ginger, grated

Vegetables

  • 1 cup shredded cabbage
  • 1 cup shredded carrots

Broth and Seasonings

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

Garnishes

  • 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, warm the sesame oil until shimmering.
  2. Cook the ground meat: Add the ground pork to the pot and cook it thoroughly, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and no longer pink.
  3. Sauté aromatics: Stir in the diced onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.
  4. Add vegetables: Mix in the shredded cabbage and carrots, cooking for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables soften.
  5. Add liquids and seasonings: Pour in the chicken broth, soy sauce, rice vinegar, hoisin sauce, and optional sriracha. Stir well to combine.
  6. Simmer the soup: Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer gently for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. 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.

Notes

  • Ground pork is traditional, but you can substitute with ground chicken, turkey, or beef.
  • Adjust sriracha according to your preferred spice level or omit for a mild soup.
  • For a vegetarian version, substitute the ground meat with tofu and use vegetable broth, and ensure hoisin sauce is vegetarian-friendly.
  • Crispy wonton strips add texture but can be omitted for a lighter soup.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
