Method

Prepare the Broth

  1. 1

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large pot, combine the beef broth, soy sauce, sesame oil, chili paste, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Stir well to mix all the ingredients.

  2. 2

    Bring to a Boil

    Place the pot over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low to let it simmer.

Cook Protein and Vegetables

  1. 3

    Brown the Beef

    In a separate skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat and set aside.

  2. 4

    Add Tofu and Vegetables

    Once the broth is simmering, add the cubed tofu, sliced carrots, sliced mushrooms, and cooked ground beef to the pot. Stir gently to combine.

  3. 5

    Simmer the Soup

    Let the soup simmer for an additional 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the vegetables to become tender.

Serve the Soup

  1. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Ladle the soup into bowls, and garnish each bowl with sliced green onions and chopped cilantro. Serve with lime wedges on the side for added freshness.
