- Saute the onion in the oil 2 or 3 minutes on low flame until onion becomes slightly transparent (do not brown)
- Add the broth, soy sauce, ginger, garlic and chili sauce. Simmer for 15 minutes.
- Add the bell pepper and the cabbage, simmer for 10 more minutes.
- If you are adding the mung bean noodles soften them in warm water in a separate bowl for 5 minutes before adding to the broth. The noodles should be added at the same time as the bell pepper and the cabbage.
- If you are adding the shredded pork this is also added at the same time as the bell pepper and cabbage.
- You are not supposed to eat the ginger or the garlic - it is just to flavor the broth. Remove the ginger and the garlic before serving (or just pick out of servings as you serve up)

Steps:
- In a small pan, bring 2 cups of water and the mushrooms to a boil. Remove from heat and soak for 15-20 minutes until softened. Strain the soaking liquid into a 2 quart pot and set the shiitake mushrooms aside.
- Add the remaining 4 cups water, scallions, carrots, radish, and ginger to the soaking liquid.
- Cover, bring to a simmer and cook gently for about 30 minutes. Strain and return the stock to the soup pot.
- While the stock is simmering, heat oil in a heavy skillet(or wok) and add the onions. Cook on medium heat for 15 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onions are browned well(don't burn!). Add the garlic and saute for 3 minutes.
- Mix in ginger, cabbage, and carrots. Cook, stir often until cabbage is limp and crisp tender, about 10 minutes. Add the veggies to the strained stock and stir in the chili paste and soy sauce.
- Remove and discard the shiitake stems. Thinly slice the caps, add them to the soup, and reheat until just boiling.
- Ladle the soup into bowls. Top with the hijiki seaweed or scallions, or both. Enjoy!
Tips:
- Choose the right Chinese cabbage: Look for cabbages that are firm, heavy for their size, and have tightly packed leaves. Avoid cabbages that have wilted or bruised leaves.
- Wash the cabbage thoroughly: Rinse the cabbage under cold water to remove any dirt or debris. Cut away any damaged or wilted leaves.
- Slice the cabbage thinly: This will help it cook evenly and quickly. You can use a knife or a mandoline to slice the cabbage.
- Use fresh ginger: Fresh ginger has a more pungent flavor than ground ginger. If you don't have fresh ginger, you can use 1/2 teaspoon of ground ginger instead.
- Don't overcook the cabbage: Chinese cabbage cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked cabbage will become limp and lose its flavor.
- Serve the soup hot: Chinese cabbage and ginger soup is best served hot. You can garnish it with chopped green onions or cilantro.
