Gather Your Ingredients: Before you begin cooking, take a moment to gather all your ingredients. This step ensures a smooth cooking process and makes the experience more enjoyable.

Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot over medium heat, add a splash of oil and sauté minced garlic and grated ginger until fragrant (about 1 minute). This step is crucial as it forms the aromatic base of your soup, infusing the broth with rich, warm flavors.

Add Broth and Dumplings: Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a gentle boil. Add the dumplings and cook until they are tender. Ensure the dumplings are fully submerged to cook evenly and absorb the flavors of the broth.

Incorporate Greens: Stir in fresh spinach or bok choy along with soy sauce, cooking until the greens are wilted (2-3 minutes). The greens should be bright and tender, adding a fresh element to the dish.

Finish with Sesame Oil: Drizzle sesame oil before serving for enhanced flavor. This final touch adds depth and a nutty aroma that elevates the soup.

Serve and Garnish: Ladle into bowls and garnish with chopped green onions. This adds a pop of color and a fresh, crunchy texture to contrast with the soft dumplings.
