In a large pot, heat up a bit of oil over medium high heat. If using sausages, add the sliced sausages and cook until lightly browned on both sides, 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the onion, garlic, and ginger, and cook until the onion is soft, 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the chicken broth, kimchi with juice, gochujang, soy sauce, sesame oil, cabbage, and carrots. Bring to a simmer and cook for 30-40 minutes, or until cabbage is tender and to your taste. Taste and season with salt and pepper and enjoy warm!
