Ingredients

• 6 cups vegetable stock
• 1 medium, finely chopped onion
• 3 minced garlic cloves
• 1 tablespoon, freshly grated ginger
• 1 small, sliced red chili pepper
• 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon sriracha sauce
• 2 tablespoons, freshly squeezed lime juice
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 2 tablespoons, chopped, for garnish coriander leaves (cilantro)
• 2 stalks, thinly sliced, for garnish green onions
• 0.5 teaspoon (optional for aroma) sesame oil

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large pot over medium heat and, if using, add the sesame oil for a mild aroma. Alternatively, skip the oil to keep the recipe completely fat-free.

Step 2

Add the chopped onion to the pot and sauté for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, to soften it slightly. If omitting oil, use a splash of vegetable stock to prevent sticking.

Step 3

Stir in the garlic and ginger, cooking for another 1 minute until aromatic.

Step 4

Add the red chili pepper, ground cumin, and smoked paprika. Cook for 30 seconds to bloom the spices.

Step 5

Pour in the vegetable stock and bring it to a gentle boil.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to a simmer and stir in the low-sodium soy sauce, sriracha sauce, and lime juice. Let the broth simmer for 15 minutes to develop the flavors.

Step 7

Taste the broth and adjust the heat level or saltiness, if needed, by adding more sriracha or soy sauce to your liking.

Step 8

Remove the pot from the heat and garnish the broth with chopped coriander leaves (cilantro) and thinly sliced green onions.

Step 9

Serve immediately as a warm, spicy appetizer or use the broth as a base for other soups or noodle dishes.
