• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons fish sauce (optional)
• 2 inches piece fresh ginger, peeled and thinly sliced
• 2 shallots, peeled and thinly sliced
• 5 ounces cremini mushrooms, thinly sliced

• 1 small napa cabbage, outer leaves only, roughly torn
• 2 carrots, peeled, cut in half lengthwise, then in half crosswise, and very thinly sliced
• 20 snow pea pods
• 6 scallions, thinly sliced
• dark sesame oil

1. Combine the broth, soy sauce, fish sauce, ginger and shallots in a large saucepan or stockpot.
2. Heat over medium heat and bring to a simmer.
3. Add the remaining ingredients except the snow peas, scallions and sesame oil.
