Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 pound ground pork (or ground turkey)
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1-inch piece of ginger, minced
- 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth (or vegetable broth)
- 2 cups coleslaw mix (or shredded cabbage)
- 1 large carrot, julienned or shredded
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Cook the Pork: In a large pot, heat the sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground pork and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
- Sauté the Aromatics: Add the chopped onion, garlic, and ginger to the pot with the browned pork. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onions are softened and the mixture is fragrant.
- Add the Broth and Veggies: Pour in the chicken broth followed by the coleslaw mix and shredded carrot. Stir well to combine all ingredients evenly.
- Season the Soup: Stir in soy sauce, rice vinegar, Chinese five-spice powder, and crushed red pepper flakes if using. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Bring the soup to a gentle simmer and let cook uncovered for 10-15 minutes until the vegetables are tender and the flavors meld together.
- Serve: Ladle the hot soup into bowls and garnish with sliced green onions and fresh cilantro if desired. Serve immediately for best taste.
Notes
- You can substitute ground turkey for ground pork for a leaner option.
- Adjust crushed red pepper flakes according to your preferred spice level or omit for mild taste.
- Using low-sodium broth helps control the saltiness; adjust salt accordingly.
- This soup pairs well with steamed rice or simple steamed buns for a fuller meal.
- Make sure not to overcook the vegetables to retain some texture in the soup.
