# How-To Steps:

01 - Add ground pork to a large soup pot over medium-high heat. Break up with a wooden spoon and cook until browned and no longer pink, about 5–7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Drain excess fat if needed.
02 - Add diced onion, garlic, and ginger to the pot. Sauté for 3–4 minutes until fragrant and onions begin to soften.
03 - Stir in soy sauce, sesame oil, and rice vinegar. Pour in chicken broth and bring to a gentle boil.
04 - Add shredded carrots and sliced cabbage. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for about 15 minutes until vegetables are tender. Stir in half of the chopped green onions.
05 - Slowly drizzle beaten eggs into the simmering soup while stirring in a circular motion to create delicate ribbons.
06 - Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or soy sauce as needed. Ladle soup into bowls and garnish with remaining green onions. Add sriracha or red pepper flakes for heat if desired.
