03 -
1 tablespoon of sesame oil to bring that nutty magic
04 -

A couple teaspoons of fresh ginger, grated for an extra kick
06 -
2 garlic cloves, minced finely
07 -

→ Finishing Touches & Flavor Boosters
10 -
1 tablespoon of rice vinegar—gives a lovely, tangy touch (optional)
11 -
A shake of salt and a bit of pepper—season how you like
12 -
1 teaspoon of chili oil or some red pepper flakes for those who enjoy a kick
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Heat sesame oil in a roomy pot over medium. Add garlic and ginger, giving them a minute to work their aroma magic. Pour in the broth, soy sauce, and if you’re using it, a splash of rice vinegar. Let it all hang out and simmer for 5 to 10 minutes to let the flavors cozy up.
02 -
Carefully pop the frozen dumplings right into that broth. Let them cook for about 5 to 7 minutes to heat through. Got mushrooms or greens? Toss them in for their turn for the last minute or two.
03 -
Taste your broth, then adjust however you like—some salt, maybe a touch of pepper. If you want to bring the heat, your chili oil or flakes are ready to jump in. Turn off the heat when it’s just right.
04 -
Scoop a helping of broth, dumplings, and veggies into your favorite bowls. Top it off with green onions and a little extra sesame oil for that final hit of flavor.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Need extra depth? Add a splash of tamari or fish sauce to the broth.
02 -
Want more bulk? Toss in veggies you love or add cooked noodles to the pot.
03 -
Making it vegan is a breeze! Just switch to veggie broth and plant-based dumplings.
