Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450 g) ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped (about 1 cup)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 cups coleslaw mix (or shredded cabbage and carrots)
  • 1 cup shiitake mushrooms, sliced (or any preferred mushroom)
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced (for garnish)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat for about 1 minute. Once the oil shimmers, add the finely chopped onion. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.
  2. Add 3 cloves of minced garlic and 1 tablespoon of grated fresh ginger to the pot. Stir continuously for about 1 minute, or until the mixture becomes aromatic. Be careful not to let the garlic burn, as it can turn bitter.
  3. Increase the heat to medium-high and add 1 lb of ground beef to the pot. Cook for 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon until it’s browned and no longer pink. Make sure to drain any excess fat if necessary.
  4. Pour in 4 cups of low-sodium chicken broth and stir in 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, and 1 teaspoon of rice vinegar. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, which should take about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Once boiling, add 2 cups of coleslaw mix and 1 cup of sliced shiitake mushrooms to the pot. Stir well and reduce the heat to medium-low. Allow it to simmer for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still vibrant in color.
  6. Season the soup with 1/2 teaspoon of ground black pepper and 1/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes, if desired. Taste and adjust the salt, as needed. Remember, the soy sauce adds saltiness, so go easy!
  7. In a small bowl, beat 2 large eggs. Slowly drizzle the eggs into the soup while stirring gently in a circular motion. This will create beautiful ribbons of egg in your soup. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until the eggs are just set.
  8. Remove the pot from heat and serve immediately, garnishing each bowl with thinly sliced green onions. Enjoy while hot for the best experience!

Keywords: Don't rush the browning of the beef for added flavor. Use a pot with a heavy bottom to prevent sticking, and adjust the heat level with red pepper flakes to your preference.
