Cubed tofu soaks up the delicious aromatic broth, full of tang and flavor from prepared kimchi, garlic paste and ginger paste. Use your favorite brand of kimchi, just be sure to drain it before adding. A fried egg adds protein to this vegetarian kimchi-tofu soup. If you avoid eating seafood, look for a brand of kimchi that's vegetarian.

Ingredients

3 tablespoons canola oil, divided
1 tablespoon garlic paste
2 teaspoons ginger paste
4 cups lower-sodium vegetable or no-chicken broth
2 cups kimchi, drained
2 cups classic coleslaw mix
1 (14 ounce) package extra-firm tofu, drained and cubed (3/4-inch)
5 medium scallions, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
4 large eggs
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds

Directions

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 1/2 to 2 minutes for a runny yolk and 3 1/2 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.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
