Directions
- Heat the olive oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the mushrooms, carrots, bell pepper, and chillies plus 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic, ginger and scallion whites and cook, stirring, until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the pork, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and cook, breaking up the pork with a spoon and stirring occasionally, until no longer pink, 5 to 6 minutes.
- Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Add the noodles and cabbage or bok choy and cook until the noodles are tender and cooked through and the cabbage is tender but still holds a bit of crunch, about 6 minutes. Stir in the soy sauce and vinegar to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
- Ladle the soup into bowls, sprinkle with the scallion greens and top with some sesame seeds and sriracha if desired.
