Ingredients
Scale
Meat and Aromatics
- 1 lb ground beef
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, grated
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
Vegetables
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 4 cups green cabbage, thinly sliced
- Chopped green onions for garnish
Liquids and Seasonings
- 6 cups low sodium chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Others
- 2 eggs, beaten (optional)
Instructions
- Cook the beef: In a large pot over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Drain any excess fat to reduce greasiness.
- Sauté aromatics: Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and diced onion to the pot. Sauté until fragrant and the onions become translucent, about 3-5 minutes.
- Cook vegetables: Stir in the shredded carrots and thinly sliced cabbage. Cook for around 5 minutes until the vegetables are slightly softened but still retain some crunch.
- Add broth and simmer: Pour in the low sodium chicken broth along with the soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer gently for about 15 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
- Create egg ribbons: Slowly drizzle the beaten eggs into the simmering soup while gently stirring in a circular motion. This will create delicate egg ribbons throughout the soup.
- Garnish and serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped green onions before serving hot.
Notes
- For a vegetarian version, substitute ground beef with crumbled tofu and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
- Adjust the amount of soy sauce according to your salt preference, especially since low sodium broth is used.
- The beaten eggs are optional but highly recommended for added texture and protein.
- You can add a dash of chili flakes or sriracha for a spicy twist.
- Using fresh ginger and garlic really enhances the authentic flavor of the soup.
