Ingredients

Scale

Pork Dumplings

  • 12 frozen pork dumplings

Soup Base

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

Vegetables & Garnish

  • 1 cup mixed vegetables (e.g., bok choy or carrots)
  • 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients and finely mince the garlic and ginger, appreciating the fragrant aromas that will enhance your soup.
  2. Heat Broth: In a large pot over medium heat, pour in the low-sodium chicken broth and bring it to a gentle simmer, letting the savory aroma fill your kitchen.
  3. Cook Dumplings: Carefully add the frozen pork dumplings into the simmering broth. Cook according to package instructions, usually about 8-10 minutes, until the dumplings are tender and cooked through.
  4. Add Aromatics and Vegetables: Stir in the minced garlic, minced ginger, and your choice of mixed vegetables. Let the soup continue to simmer gently until the vegetables have softened slightly but still maintain some crunch, about 3-5 minutes.
  5. Enhance Flavor: Drizzle the soup with sesame oil for a rich, nutty depth. Taste your broth and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding a pinch of salt or soy sauce if desired.
  6. Serve and Garnish: Ladle the hot soup into bowls and garnish each serving with freshly sliced green onions to add freshness and a pop of color. Enjoy immediately for best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Do not overcrowd the pot when cooking dumplings to ensure even cooking and browning.
  • Taste the broth before serving to adjust seasoning to your preference.
  • For a thicker broth, mix cornstarch with water and stir it into the soup during the last few minutes of cooking.
  • Feel free to substitute the pork dumplings with vegetable or chicken dumplings for different flavors.
  • Store leftover soup in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat gently on the stove to preserve texture.
