Egg Roll Soup Comforting and Flavorful Bowl
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground pork (or turkey)
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups coleslaw mix (cabbage and carrots)
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced (shiitake or button)
- 2 large green onions, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 inch piece ginger, minced
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium)
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- to taste salt and pepper
- optional sesame seeds and extra green onions for garnish
Instructions
- In a large pot over medium heat, add the sesame oil. Once hot, introduce the ground pork (or turkey), breaking it up with a spoon while cooking until it is browned and no longer pink. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in the minced garlic and ginger, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
- Add the coleslaw mix and mushrooms to the pot. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally.
- Mix in the soy sauce and rice vinegar. Season the soup with salt and pepper according to your taste.
- Gently drizzle the beaten eggs into the soup while stirring slowly to create egg ribbons. Allow the eggs to cook through for about 1-2 minutes.
- Finally, sprinkle in the chopped green onions and give the soup a good stir. Remove from heat.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with sesame seeds and more green onions if desired.
💡 Chef's Notes
Serve in deep bowls with chopsticks or a soup spoon, and place a small dish of extra soy sauce on the side for dipping. A sprig of cilantro on top adds a fresh touch.
