Instructions
Cooking the Soup
- Heat 2 tablespoons canola oil in a medium Dutch oven over medium heat. Stir in garlic paste and ginger paste; cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in broth, kimchi and coleslaw mix; bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and add tofu, scallions and soy sauce; cook, stirring occasionally, until the tofu is heated through, about 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon canola oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Crack eggs, 1 at a time, into the pan; cook to desired doneness, 1 ½ to 2 minutes for a runny yolk and 3 ½ to 4 minutes for a firmer yolk.
- Divide the soup among 4 bowls. Top each with a fried egg. Drizzle with sesame oil and top with sesame seeds.
Notes
Use your favorite brand of kimchi and ensure it's vegetarian if avoiding seafood.
