Ingredients

Directions

  1. Prepare the cabbage by removing tough outer leaves and slicing the rest into bite-sized pieces. Blanch the cabbage in boiling water for 2-3 minutes until just tender-crisp, then drain and set aside.
  2. In a large pot or Dutch oven, combine 1.5 liters (6 cups) of chicken or pork stock with 2-3 stock cubes if using plain water. Bring the liquid to a gentle simmer over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the minced shallots to the simmering broth and cook for 2 minutes until they become fragrant and slightly translucent.
  4. Stir in the blanched cabbage, minced coriander, salt, and ground white pepper. Reduce heat to medium-low and let it simmer for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  5. If using raw chicken or pork, add the meat to the pot now and simmer for an additional 15-20 minutes until the meat is cooked through and tender. If the meat is pre-cooked or if this is a vegetable-focused broth, skip this step.
  6. Just before serving, stir in the whole spring onion greens and sliced spring onions. Turn off the heat and let the dish sit for 2 minutes to wilt the greens slightly.
  7. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed. Ladle the hot stew into bowls and serve immediately.
