This is a very straightforward recipe that's basically fail-proof. But, if you're new to Asian cooking, you'll want to experiment with sesame oil and sriracha.

Both of these ingredients have bold flavors, so you'll want to start with the recommended amount that's in the recipe. You can add more once you taste it and are familiar with it.

• Slaw: A light and crunchy Cilantro Lime Slaw adds a refreshing contrast to the warm and savory soup.

• Cucumber salad: This simple Thai Cucumber Salad makes a fresh and crisp side dish.

🔄 Substitutions and Additions

• Protein options: Feel free to use ground chicken, turkey or ground beef instead of pork. You can throw in mini shrimp at the very end of cooking for added protein. Tofu can also be used in place of the pork.

• Other veggies: Add other vegetables like bell peppers, mushrooms, baby bok choy or bean sprouts.

• Seasonings: Chinese five-spice powder adds a nice punch of flavor. You can also add a drop or two of oyster sauce or hoisin sauce for bolder Asian flavors. For an extra kick, sprinkle a pinch red pepper flakes into the broth.

• Garnishes: Though not low carb, you can sprinkle crispy chow mein noodles on top adds extra crunch. Fresh cilantro and lime wedges make flavorful garnishes.

Can I Make This Recipe in a Slow Cooker?

While the recipe is for a stovetop version, you make it in your slow cooker. Just brown the pork and sauté the ginger and garlic in a pan, then transfer everything to the slow cooker along with the remaining ingredients. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.

Can I Use Pre-Shedded Cabbage?

Yes, you can use pre-shredded cabbage to save time. Just keep in mind you won't have any control over the size of the cabbage slices.

How Can I Make the Broth Creamier?

Is Egg Roll Soup Considered Low Carb?
