Ingredients

• 1 small onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 teaspoons fresh ginger, grated
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 4 cups coleslaw mix (usually includes green cabbage, carrots, and red cabbage)

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat.
2. Step 2: Add the ground pork, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
3. Step 3: Stir in diced onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the onions are translucent and fragrant.
4. Step 4: Pour in the chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the pot to deglaze and incorporate any browned bits.

6. Step 6: Stir in soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and red pepper flakes if using. Mix well.
7. Step 7: Bring the soup to a simmer over medium-high heat. Then reduce heat to low and cook for 10-15 minutes until flavors meld and vegetables soften.
8. Step 8: Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
9. Step 9: Serve hot, garnished with sliced green onions, sesame seeds, and chopped cilantro if desired.

Tips & Variations

• For a vegetarian version, substitute ground pork with firm tofu and use vegetable broth.
• Add a splash of fish sauce for extra umami depth, if you enjoy that flavor.
• If you prefer more heat, increase the red pepper flakes or add a diced fresh chili.
• Use leftover cooked shredded chicken instead of ground meat to save time.

Storage

Store any leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a pot over low heat or microwave until warmed through. The soup may thicken upon standing; you can add a splash of broth or water when reheating to loosen it.

How to Serve
