Scale
Soup Base
- 6 cups chicken broth (homemade preferred)
- 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce (adjust to taste)
- 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger (ginger paste can be substituted)
Dumplings and Garnish
- 12-16 pieces frozen dumplings (choose pork, chicken, or vegetable)
- 1-2 teaspoons sesame oil (adjust to taste)
- 2 tablespoons diced green onions (chives can be used as an alternative)
Instructions
- Prepare the Broth: In a large pot, combine 6 cups of chicken broth, 2 tablespoons of low sodium soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon of freshly grated ginger. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat to develop the flavors.
- Cook the Dumplings: Carefully add 12-16 frozen dumplings into the boiling broth. Let them cook for about 4 minutes or until they float to the surface, which indicates they are fully cooked.
- Finish the Soup: Turn off the heat and drizzle 1-2 teaspoons of sesame oil over the soup to add a nutty aroma and flavor. Then, garnish with 2 tablespoons of diced green onions or chives as preferred.
- Serve: Ladle the hot soup into bowls and serve immediately for a cozy and satisfying meal.
Notes
- You can adjust the number of dumplings based on preference and appetite.
- Use homemade chicken broth for richer flavor or store-bought for convenience.
- Ginger paste is a good shortcut if fresh ginger is not available.
- Choose dumplings with your preferred filling such as pork, chicken, or vegetable.
- Adjust the soy sauce and sesame oil to your taste for saltiness and richness.
