Make

  1. Heat a wok or Dutch oven with oil over medium heat. Add beef and saute, breaking it apart, until lightly browned, 4 to 6 minutes. Season beef with some salt and pepper as it cooks. Drain off excess oil.
  2. Add onions, zucchini, mushrooms, and hot sauce (start with the lower amount and add more to taste as the soup cooks). Saute until onions are turning soft, 2 to 3 minutes.
  3. Add garlic and kimchi and saute for 1 minute more.
  4. Pour stock and aminos over vegetables. Bring to a simmer. Simmer soup for 10 minutes to let flavors come together.
  5. When soup is finished, remove from heat and stir in lemon juice. Season with some salt and pepper.
  6. Serve soup with green onions on top. Add some extra kimchi and / or hot sauce if you’d like. Enjoy!
