Main Ingredients
- 1 pound ground pork or chicken
- 3 cups shredded cabbage
- 1 cup grated carrots
- 3 green onions, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
- 3 tablespoons gluten-free soy sauce
- 6 cups vegetable or chicken broth (gluten-free)
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
Optional Ingredients
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms or diced water chestnuts
- Prepare your ingredients: Finely shred the cabbage, grate the carrots, and slice the green onions. Mince the garlic and ginger to release their fragrant flavors for the soup.
- Brown the meat: In a large pot, heat sesame oil over medium heat and add the ground pork or chicken. Cook until browned and crumbly, breaking up any large chunks for an even texture.
- Sauté aromatics and vegetables: Add minced garlic and ginger to the pot, stirring until fragrant. Toss in cabbage, carrots, and any optional mushrooms or water chestnuts. Cook for a few minutes until the vegetables soften slightly.
- Add broth and seasoning: Pour in the gluten-free chicken or vegetable broth along with gluten-free soy sauce. Stir well, and bring the soup to a simmer to combine all the flavors.
- Simmer and finish: Let the soup simmer gently for 10 to 15 minutes until all the vegetables are tender but still vibrant. Finish with sliced green onions and an extra drizzle of toasted sesame oil before serving.
Notes
- Use fresh vegetables: Crisp cabbage and carrots enhance texture and taste.
- Don’t overcook the cabbage: Keep it slightly crunchy for authentic egg roll texture.
- Choose quality gluten-free soy sauce: For true depth of flavor without gluten.
- Toast sesame oil lightly: Warm it before adding to release nutty aroma.
- Season gradually: Taste as you go to balance saltiness and sweetness.
