Ingredients

• 250 grams Ground pork
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
• 2 pieces Scallions, finely chopped
• 12 leaves Napa cabbage leaves
• 6 cups Chicken broth
• 2 cups Bok choy, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Pepper
• 1 teaspoon Chili oil (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, combine ground pork, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and half of the chopped scallions. Mix until evenly combined.

Step 2

Blanch the Napa cabbage leaves in boiling water for about 30 seconds until they are soft and pliable. Remove and cool under cold water, then pat them dry with paper towels.

Step 3

Place a heaping teaspoon of the pork mixture on the base of a cabbage leaf. Roll it up snugly like a dumpling, tucking in the sides. Repeat until all filling and leaves are used.

Step 4

In a large pot, bring 6 cups of chicken broth to a simmer. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, salt, and pepper.

Step 5

Carefully drop each cabbage dumpling into the simmering broth, then add the chopped bok choy.

Step 6

Simmer the soup for about 10-15 minutes until the pork is cooked through and the bok choy is tender.

Step 7

Taste the soup and adjust seasoning if necessary with more salt and pepper.

Step 8

Serve hot, garnished with the remaining chopped scallions and a drizzle of chili oil if using.
