Instructions

Prepare the ingredients

Wash the cabbage hearts and halve them lengthwise, then cut them into pieces of uniform length. Cut the scallion into segments, and cut the ginger into chunks and lightly smash them with the flat of a knife.

Cook

Add the chicken broth and water to a pot, then add the scallion and ginger and bring to a boil. Place the cabbage hearts in the pot and cook until about 80% done, then remove them. Strain the broth, return it to the pot, and add the salt, MSG, and cooking wine. Bring to a boil, add the cabbage hearts and shredded carrot, and once the soup returns to a boil, immediately remove from heat.

Plate

First arrange the cabbage hearts cut-side up, lined up neatly on the serving plate. Then place the shredded carrot on top, and finally pour the chicken broth over them to serve.
