Description

A comforting and flavorful Asian-inspired soup that features delicate egg ribbons in a light broth with tender cabbage, perfect for a quick and satisfying meal.


Ingredients

Scale

For the Soup:

  • 6 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 2 cups shredded green cabbage
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground white pepper

For Garnish:

  • 3 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons cold water (optional, for thicker soup)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • Salt to taste
  • Sliced green onions and sesame seeds for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a medium pot, bring the broth to a gentle boil over medium heat. Add the cabbage, green onions, garlic, soy sauce, and white pepper. Simmer for 5-7 minutes until cabbage is tender.
  2. If you prefer a thicker soup, stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook for another minute until slightly thickened.
  3. Slowly drizzle the beaten eggs into the soup while stirring gently in one direction to create egg ribbons.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in sesame oil. Adjust seasoning with salt if needed.
  5. Ladle into bowls and garnish with extra green onions and sesame seeds if desired. Serve hot.

Notes

  • Add sliced mushrooms or tofu for extra texture.
  • For a bit of spice, drizzle with chili oil before serving.
