# How to Make It:
01 - Add ground pork to a large soup pot over medium-high heat. Break apart with a wooden spoon and cook until browned and no longer pink, approximately 5–7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Drain excess fat if necessary.
02 - Add diced onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger to the browned pork. Cook for 3–4 minutes, stirring frequently until fragrant and onions begin to soften.
03 - Stir in soy sauce, sesame oil, and rice vinegar. Pour in chicken broth and bring mixture to a gentle boil.
04 - Add shredded carrots and sliced cabbage to the boiling broth. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for approximately 15 minutes, until vegetables reach desired tenderness. Add half the chopped green onions during the final minutes.
05 - Slowly drizzle beaten eggs into the simmering soup while stirring in a circular motion to create delicate egg ribbons. Continue stirring gently for 30 seconds.
06 - Taste soup and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or soy sauce as needed. Ladle into bowls and garnish with remaining green onions. Add sriracha or red pepper flakes for heat if desired.
