Description
A quick and soothing soup made with shredded chicken, green cabbage, and aromatic ginger and garlic, all simmered in a sesame-soy broth. Ready in just 10 minutes, it’s perfect for busy weeknights.
Ingredients
2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
1 clove garlic, minced
4 cups chicken broth (low sodium preferred)
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 cup cooked shredded chicken
2 cups green cabbage, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
Green onions or fresh herbs for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Heat a medium pot over medium heat and add the toasted sesame oil. Once hot, add the minced ginger and garlic. Sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
Pour in the chicken broth and soy sauce. Stir well to combine and bring to a simmer.
Add the cooked shredded chicken and chopped cabbage. Simmer for about 5–6 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender but still slightly crisp.
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Garnish with chopped green onions or fresh herbs, then serve hot.
Notes
For extra heat, drizzle with chili oil. You can also add cooked rice or rice noodles to make it heartier. For a vegetarian version, substitute chicken with tofu and use vegetable broth.
