# How to Make It:
01 - Heat the oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the ground chicken and cook, breaking up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes.
02 - Add the onion, garlic, ginger, and the white parts of the green onions. Sauté until fragrant and softened, about 3 minutes.
03 - Stir in the cabbage and carrots. Cook, stirring, until the vegetables begin to wilt, 3 to 4 minutes.
04 - Pour in the chicken broth, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, black pepper, and salt. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 to 12 minutes, until the vegetables are tender and flavors meld.
05 - Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
06 - Ladle the soup into bowls. Top with chili crisp, a sprinkle of the green parts of the green onions, and sesame seeds if using. Serve hot.
