2 Tbsp olive oil

1 small onion, chopped

2 medium carrots, chopped

1/2 small cabbage, chopped into bite sized pieces

1/2 small red cabbage, chopped into bite sized pieces

6 garlic cloves, finely chopped

1.5 Tbsp ginger, finely chopped

8 cups chicken stock

1 Tbsp soy sauce (or tamari sauce)

1 Tbsp Hoisin sauce (for keto, you can skip this )

1 Tbsp sesame oil

1 Tbsp sriracha

 

For Garnishing and Toppings

1 tsp sesame seeds

2 Tbsp green onions (only green part), chopped

Sriracha, to taste

 

Instructions

Stovetop Method

1. Heat olive oil in a pot over medium high heat. Add chopped onions and carrots and sauté for a few minutes, till the onion gets soft and translucent.

2. Add in pork and start cooking the pork by breaking it with a wooden spoon. We prefer to keep the pork a bit chunky. Cook the pork till no longer pink.

3. Add chopped ginger and garlic and cook for a couple of minutes.

4. Add chicken broth along with soy sauce, hoisin sauce and sriracha.

5.  Stir in chopped cabbage and bring the soup to a boil. Lower the heat to medium-low and simmer for 15 minutes, or until carrots and cabbage are nice and tender.

6. Stir in sesame oil until combined. Taste for seasonings like salt or soy sauce.

7. Serve and garnish with sesame seeds, green onions and sriracha.

 

Crock Pot Method

1. Brown the ground pork in a skillet over medium high heat with some olive oil, breaking it with a spatula until the meat is no longer pink. Transfer the meat into the crock pot. (You can skip browning the meat start with raw meat in the crockpot, though browning the meat adds tons of flavor to the dish)

2. Add remaining ingredients, except the garnishings and sesame oil, to the slow cooker. Cover and cook for 3-4 hours on high, or 7-8 hours on low. Stir in the sesame oil in the last 15 minutes of cooking.

3. Garnish it with sesame seeds, green onions and sriracha.

   

Instant Pot Method

1. Put the instant pot on Saute mode and wait till its hot. Heat oil and sauté onion and carrots for a couple of minutes, till onion is soft and translucent. Add in ground pork and sauté for 4-5 minutes, breaking with a spatula, till meat is no longer pink. Add in all the rest of the ingredients, except the sesame oil and garnishing.

2. Close the lid, set the valve to sealing and cook on high pressure for 20 minutes. Once the cook time ends, allow the steam to naturally release for 5-10 minutes. Once all the steam is released, open the lid and stir in the sesame oil.

3. Garnish with sesame seeds, green onions and sriracha.

 

Notes

1. You can make the same soup with ground chicken, ground turkey or even chicken or pork sausage.

2. We used 2 pounds of meat for large pot. You can use half the amount by simply using the half amounts for the entire recipes, except use 6 cups of chicken broth instead of 8 cups.
