Ingredients

  • 1.5 tbsp oil
  • half a large red onion (a little over 1c roughly chopped)
  • ginger (~25 grams)
  • 1 tbsp crushed garlic
  • 2 tsp coriander seeds
  • 2 cardamom pods
  • 2 cloves
  • 1 medium sized carrot roughly chopped (~1c)
  • 1.5 c roughly chopped celery
  • 4 c water
  • 3 c veggie broth (Kroger brand)
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 2 tsp sugar
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  • Keep your heat on high, and begin by sautéing your onion in your oil for about a minute. Then, add in your ginger, garlic, and coriander seeds and sauté for couple of more minutes.
  • Then, add in the rest of your ingredients and bring the mixture to a boil.
  • Turn the heat down on low and let the broth simmer for 30 minutes. Strain with a sieve before serving.
  • Note: you can serve this broth with whatever noodles and veggies you like! I enjoy mine with red and green cabbage, carrots, green onions, baked tofu, Wei-Chaun low mein noodles/ traditional pho rice noodles, lime juice, sriracha, and sambal!! The last three ingredients in particular really tie the the flavor of the broth together perfectly.
