Ingredients

Scale

Soup Base

  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame oil

Dumplings

  • 1 package (12 oz) pork or chicken dumplings

Vegetables & Garnish

  • 2 cups fresh spinach or bok choy
  • 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients to streamline the cooking process.
  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, to release their flavors.
  3. Cook Dumplings: Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a gentle boil. Add the dumplings and cook until they are tender, typically about 6-8 minutes depending on package instructions.
  4. Add Greens and Soy Sauce: Stir in fresh spinach or bok choy along with soy sauce, cooking until the greens are wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Finish with Sesame Oil: Drizzle sesame oil over the soup before serving to enhance the flavor with a nutty aroma.
  6. Serve and Garnish: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped green onions for freshness and color.

Notes

  • You can substitute chicken broth with vegetable broth for a lighter flavor.
  • Use store-bought frozen dumplings for quick preparation or homemade dumplings for added freshness.
  • If preferred, add a splash of rice vinegar or a pinch of chili flakes for additional tang or heat.
  • Adjust soy sauce quantity to taste, especially if using regular or low-sodium versions.
  • For a vegetarian version, use vegetable broth and vegetable dumplings instead of pork or chicken.
