Ingredients
  

  • 1 package (12 oz) pork or chicken dumplings
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
  • 2 cups fresh spinach or bok choy
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame oil

Method
 

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.

Notes

  • For an extra kick, add a dash of chili oil.
