Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 package 12 oz pork or chicken dumplings (or vegetable dumplings)
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger grated
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 2 green onions chopped (divided)
  • 2 cups fresh spinach or bok choy
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce or tamari for gluten-free
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • Optional: 8 oz sliced shiitake mushrooms shredded carrots, splash of rice vinegar

Method
 

  1. Prepare ingredients by mincing garlic, grating ginger, and chopping green onions. Wash spinach or bok choy and set aside.
  2. Heat a large pot over medium heat with a small amount of oil. Add garlic and ginger; sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Pour in chicken broth and bring to a gentle boil. Add frozen dumplings and cook 6–8 minutes until they float and are tender.
  4. Stir in spinach or bok choy and soy sauce. Simmer 2–4 minutes until greens wilt. Adjust seasoning as needed.
  5. Remove from heat, drizzle with sesame oil, and stir gently.
  6. Ladle soup into bowls and garnish with chopped green onions. Optional: top with chili oil, sesame seeds, or furikake for added flavor.

Notes

Yields about 4 servings. Best enjoyed fresh, as dumplings soften in leftover broth. Store components separately for reheating. Ready in just 25 minutes for a flavorful, balanced meal.
