Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
- 1 small yellow onion, diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon minced ginger
- 1 pound ground pork, chicken, or turkey
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 1/2 cups freshly grated carrots (approx 3 large)
- 1 bag of cole slaw mix (or approx 5 cups shredded cabbage)
- 6 cups chicken stock
- 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce (optional)
- 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
To Serve
- Green onion, sliced
- Chili crisp
- Crispy wonton strips
Instructions
- Heat Aromatics: Heat the sesame oil in a 7-quart Dutch oven over medium heat. Add in the diced onions, minced garlic, and minced ginger, stirring occasionally for about 5 minutes until the onions soften and become fragrant.
- Cook the Meat: Add the ground pork, chicken, or turkey to the pot. Use a wooden spoon to break up the meat as it cooks until fully browned and cooked through.
- Add Vegetables: Stir in the freshly grated carrots and shredded cabbage (cole slaw mix). Cook for about 1 minute to start softening the vegetables.
- Build the Broth: Pour in the chicken stock, then add the low-sodium soy sauce, fish sauce (if using), and rice wine vinegar. Stir well and bring the mixture to a boil.
- Simmer Soup: Once boiling, cover the pot, reduce the heat to medium-low, and let the soup simmer gently for 10 minutes to blend the flavors.
- Season and Serve: Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve the soup hot, garnished with sliced green onions, chili crisp, and crispy wonton strips for added texture and flavor.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Fish sauce is optional but adds a depth of umami flavor.
- Use any ground meat of choice such as pork, chicken, or turkey.
- For a vegetarian version, substitute meat with chopped mushrooms or tofu and use vegetable broth.
- To add more spice, include chili flakes or a splash of hot sauce.
