Ingredients

Scale

Proteins:

  • 1 pound (454 grams) ground pork

Vegetables and Aromatics:

  • 2 cups (473 milliliters) coleslaw mix (shredded cabbage and carrots)
  • 1 cup (237 milliliters) sliced green onions
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) fresh ginger, minced

Liquid and Seasoning Ingredients:

  • 4 cups (946 milliliters) chicken or vegetable broth
  • 3 tablespoons (45 milliliters) soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) sesame oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Optional Toppings:

  • Sesame seeds
  • Sriracha
  • Crispy wonton strips

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, sear ground pork over medium-high heat until thoroughly browned and crumbled, eliminating excess grease.
  2. Incorporate minced garlic and ginger, sautéing for 1-2 minutes to release aromatic flavors.
  3. Pour chicken broth into the pot, then fold in coleslaw mix and half of the green onions, ensuring even distribution.
  4. Enhance the soup’s profile by adding soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil, then adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
  5. Reduce heat and allow the mixture to gently simmer for 12-15 minutes, enabling ingredients to harmonize and vegetables to tenderize.
  6. Transfer soup into serving bowls, creating a vibrant presentation by topping with remaining green onions, a sprinkle of sesame seeds, and optional sriracha drizzle for extra zest.

Notes

  • Swap ground pork with ground chicken or turkey for a leaner protein option that keeps the soup light and healthy.
  • Vegetarian versions work great by replacing meat with crumbled tofu or plant-based meat alternatives, maintaining the signature egg roll flavor profile.
  • For gluten-sensitive diets, use tamari instead of traditional soy sauce and ensure all ingredients are certified gluten-free to make the soup safe and delicious.
  • Control soup thickness by adjusting broth quantity; less liquid creates a heartier stew-like consistency, while more liquid keeps it traditionally soupy and broth-forward.
