Ingredients
- 14 oz coleslaw mix (bagged)
- 8 cup vegetable broth
- 6 clove garlic
- 1 bunch green onions / scallions
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
- 1 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 1/2 cup jasmine rice
- 1 tsp salt
Method
Cook the rice according to package directions.
Bring the broth to a boil with the smashed garlic cloves and simmer 5 minutes to draw the flavor out.
Add the shredded cabbage and sprouts and cook 8 minutes, uncovered, until tender but still with some snap.
Season with the soy sauce and salt. Keep the broth clear and light; it should taste clean, not heavy.
Stir in the pepper flakes and most of the sliced scallions.
Ladle over a scoop of rice in each bowl and finish with sesame oil and the remaining scallion.
