  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp chili paste (such as sambal oelek)
  • 1 tbsp sriracha (optional, for extra heat)
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 2 tbsp tahini or sesame paste

Instructions

  1. Heat sesame oil in a large pot over medium heat.

  3. In the same pot, add garlic and ginger, cooking until fragrant.

  5. Pour in chicken broth, coconut milk, and tahini. Whisk until smooth and bring to a simmer.

  • Top with extra vegetables like mushrooms, bok choy, or carrots.
  • Use miso paste instead of tahini for a deeper umami flavor.
