Ingredients
1 lb ground pork (or sub ground chicken/turkey)
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tbsp coconut oil
1 small yellow onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 thumb-sized piece of fresh ginger, peeled & grated
1 cup carrots, shredded
1 green cabbage, sliced into strips
6 cups chicken broth
2 tbsp coconut aminos
1 tbsp rice vinegar (sub lime juice for AIP)
2 tbsp green onion, chopped
Optional: Sriracha to taste (omit for AIP)
Instructions
Cook the protein: In a large pot, brown the ground pork on medium heat. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Once cooked, remove and set aside. Drain any excess fat.
Sauté the aromatics: Melt the coconut oil in the same pot. Add onion, garlic, and ginger, sautéing for about 4 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Add the veggies: Toss in shredded carrots and cook for another 2–3 minutes. Add cabbage and stir until it just begins to soften.
Make it soupy: Pour in the chicken broth, return the cooked pork to the pot, and add coconut aminos. Stir well. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer for 20–25 minutes, until the cabbage is tender and wilted.
Finish it off: Stir in rice vinegar (or lime juice if AIP). Taste and adjust seasoning.
Serve & enjoy: Ladle into bowls, top with green onion, and if desired, a drizzle of sriracha.
Tips & Variations
Make it AIP: Swap rice vinegar for lime juice and skip the sriracha.
Boost the protein: Crack in a whisked egg while the broth is simmering for an “egg drop” effect.
Add crunch: Top with sesame seeds (if not AIP) or chopped fresh herbs for extra texture.
