Ingredients

Scale

Soup Ingredients

  • 12 frozen pork dumplings
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup mixed vegetables (e.g., bok choy or carrots)
  • 1 tsp sesame oil

Garnish

  • 2 green onions, sliced

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients. Mince the garlic and fresh ginger finely to release their flavors.
  2. Simmer Broth: In a large pot over medium heat, bring the low-sodium chicken broth to a gentle simmer.
  3. Cook Dumplings: Add the frozen pork dumplings directly into the simmering broth. Cook according to the package instructions, typically about 6-8 minutes, until the dumplings are fully cooked and tender.
  4. Add Aromatics and Vegetables: Stir in the minced garlic, ginger, and mixed vegetables. Continue to simmer the soup until the vegetables soften slightly, about 3-5 minutes.
  5. Finish Soup: Drizzle the sesame oil into the pot for a nutty aroma and depth of flavor. Taste the soup and adjust seasoning if necessary, though the chicken broth and dumplings typically provide adequate seasoning.
  6. Serve: Ladle the hot soup into bowls and garnish with sliced fresh green onions for a fresh, crisp bite and added color.

Notes

  • Use low-sodium chicken broth to control salt levels in the soup.
  • Feel free to swap pork dumplings for chicken or vegetable dumplings to suit dietary preferences.
  • To keep vegetables crisp, add them last and do not overcook.
  • The soup can be enhanced with a splash of soy sauce or chili oil for extra flavor and spice.
  • Leftovers store well in the fridge for up to 2 days but dumplings can get soft over time.
