instructions
1. In a large bowl, combine the turkey, ginger, garlic, sambal, soy sauce and sesame oil. Mix everything together with your hands. Form the turkey into 1-inch round meatballs. Season them all over with salt and pepper.
2. Meanwhile, prep the cabbage, carrots and onion. Heat the canola oil in a large heavy pot. When it's hot and shimmering, add the meatballs. Let the meatballs sear, turning them occasionally, until they're brown all over. Remove them to a plate.
3. Add the cabbage, carrot and onion to the pot and season with a light sprinkling of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft, 6-8 minutes. Add the chicken broth and water and bring the soup to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, 10 minutes.
4. Add the meatballs to the soup. Simmer until they're just cooked through, 8-10 minutes. Stir in the cilantro.
