Ingredients

Scale

Dumplings

  • 1 package (12 oz) pork or chicken dumplings

Broth and Flavorings

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

Vegetables and Garnish

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

Instructions

  1. Gather Ingredients: Collect all the ingredients to ensure a smooth and efficient cooking process.
  2. Sauté Aromatics: Heat a splash of cooking oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant to build the soup’s base flavor.
  3. Add Broth and Dumplings: Pour in the low-sodium chicken broth and bring it to a gentle boil. Carefully add the dumplings and cook according to package instructions until they are tender and cooked through, usually about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Add Greens and Soy Sauce: Stir in the fresh spinach or bok choy and the soy sauce. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the greens are wilted and tender, enhancing the soup’s texture and flavor.
  5. Finish with Sesame Oil: Drizzle the teaspoon of sesame oil into the pot to add a nutty aroma and taste just before serving.
  6. Serve and Garnish: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped green onions to introduce freshness and a mild onion flavor.

Notes

  • You can substitute pork or chicken dumplings with your preferred type, including vegetable or shrimp dumplings.
  • For a vegetarian version, use vegetable broth and plant-based dumplings.
  • If fresh ginger is unavailable, substitute with 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger.
  • Adjust soy sauce to taste if you prefer a saltier or milder soup.
  • Adding a dash of chili flakes or Sriracha can add a spicy kick to the soup.
  • Serve immediately for the best texture, as dumplings may become soggy if left too long.
