# Preparation Steps:
01 - Heat a large soup pot over medium-high heat. Add ground pork and break apart with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned and no longer pink, approximately 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Drain excess fat if desired.
02 - Add diced onion, minced garlic, and grated 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 mixture to a gentle boil.
04 - Add shredded carrots and sliced cabbage. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for approximately 15 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp. Stir in half the chopped green onions.
05 - Slowly drizzle beaten eggs into simmering soup while stirring in a circular motion to create delicate egg ribbons.
06 - Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or soy sauce. Ladle soup into bowls and garnish with remaining green onions. Add sriracha or red pepper flakes for heat if desired.
