Ingredients

• 1 medium head Green cabbage
• 1 block Firm tofu
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 Garlic cloves
• 1 tablespoon Ginger
• 6 cups Vegetable broth
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 3 Green onions
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Peel and finely mince the garlic and ginger. Slice the green onions thinly and set aside the green stems for garnish.

Step 2

Core the cabbage and cut it into bite-sized pieces. Pat the tofu dry with paper towels and cut it into 1-inch cubes.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the garlic and ginger, sautéing for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the sliced cabbage to the pot and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it softens slightly.

Step 5

Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the soup to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes.

Step 6

Stir in the tofu cubes, soy sauce, and rice vinegar. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the tofu to absorb the flavors.

Step 7

Season the soup with salt and black pepper to taste. Drizzle in the sesame oil and gently stir.

Step 8

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with the reserved green onion stems. Serve hot and enjoy!
