  • 1/2 cup Green onions, sliced For garnish
  • 3 cloves Garlic, minced For an aromatic kick

Preparation
  1. Gather all your vegetables and chop as mentioned.
  2. In a large pot, heat a tablespoon of sesame oil over medium heat.
  3. Add the ground chicken or turkey, and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks.
  4. Once the meat is cooked, add minced garlic and grated ginger to the pot. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  5. Stir in the shredded cabbage and julienned carrots. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the veggies are slightly softened.
  6. Pour in the chicken broth and soy sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then bring everything to a gentle boil.

  8. Ladle the soup into bowls and top with freshly sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Enjoy!

Notes

Customization is key; feel free to swap out proteins or add in extra vegetables. Ensure the chicken or turkey is fully cooked to prevent food safety issues. Don't skip the toppings for added texture and flavor. For a thicker soup, add cornstarch mixed with water towards the end and simmer.
