04 - 1 tablespoon soy sauce
05 - 1 tablespoon sesame oil

# How to Make:

01 - Heat a large pot over medium-high heat. Add ground pork and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, for 5 to 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 to 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 evenly.
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 to 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.
