1. Rinse the beef and cut it into medium-sized chunks.

7. Sauté the onion and garlic in the pot for 2 minutes, adding oil if necessary.
8. Remove the beef from the broth and add it to the onions and garlic. Cook for 3 minutes over medium heat. Add the tomato paste, bring to a boil, and simmer for 5 minutes.
9. Bring the meat broth back to a boil, add the carrots and potatoes, and cook for 10 minutes.
10. Combine the broth, vegetables, and beef, bringing the mixture to a boil. Add the white cabbage and cook for another 5 minutes, then add the Chinese cabbage. Stir everything together, remove from heat, and let it sit for 2-3 minutes before serving.
