Egg Roll Soup

#### Instructions:

1. **Cook the Ground Pork**
In a large pot, heat **sesame oil** and **olive oil** over medium heat. Add the **ground pork** and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat if necessary.

2. **Sauté Aromatics**
Add the **onion**, **garlic**, and **ginger** to the pot with the pork and sauté for another 2-3 minutes, until the onions are softened and fragrant.

3. **Add the Broth and Vegetables**
Pour in the **chicken broth** and bring the soup to a simmer. Once simmering, add the **shredded cabbage**, **shredded carrots**, and **frozen peas**. Stir to combine, and let the soup cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.

4. **Season the Soup**
Stir in the **soy sauce**, **rice vinegar**, **sugar**, **white pepper**, and **crushed red pepper flakes** (if using). Taste the broth and adjust the seasoning if needed—add more soy sauce for saltiness, vinegar for tang, or sugar to balance the flavors.

5. **Add the Eggs**
Slowly pour the lightly beaten **eggs** into the simmering soup while stirring gently to create egg ribbons, similar to egg drop soup. Allow the eggs to cook for about 1-2 minutes until they are fully cooked and floating in delicate ribbons in the soup.

6. **Serve and Garnish**
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with **sliced green onions**, and optional toppings like **sesame seeds**, **crispy wonton strips**, or **fresh cilantro**. Serve hot and enjoy!

### Tips for the Perfect Egg Roll Soup

1. **Use Fresh Ginger**
Fresh ginger adds a fragrant, slightly spicy flavor that really enhances the soup. You can find fresh ginger at most grocery stores, and it’s worth using over ground ginger for a more authentic taste.

2. **Customize the Vegetables**
If you prefer other vegetables in your egg rolls, feel free to add them to the soup! **Mushrooms**, **bok choy**, or **bell peppers** would all be great additions.

3. **Make It Spicy**
If you like a bit of heat, add more **crushed red pepper flakes**, or a dash of **sriracha** or **chili paste** to the broth for extra spice.

4. **Use Pre-shredded Veggies**
To save time, you can use pre-shredded cabbage and carrots available in most grocery stores. This shortcut makes the recipe even quicker to prepare.

5. **Make It a Meal**
To make the soup more filling, serve it with some steamed **rice** or **noodles**. Adding a side of **egg rolls** or **dumplings** will bring the dish even closer to the takeout experience!
