Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Heat sesame oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add minced ginger and garlic; sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  • Pour in broth, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and white pepper. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
  • Add frozen dumplings directly to the simmering broth. Cook uncovered for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until dumplings float and are heated through.
  • Add bok choy and julienned carrots to the pot. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
  • Taste the soup and adjust seasonings as needed with additional soy sauce or white pepper.
  • Ladle soup into bowls. Garnish with sliced scallions, fresh cilantro, and toasted sesame seeds. Serve with chili crisp or sriracha on the side.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. Reheat on the stove over medium heat, being careful not to boil for too long. Customize with your favorite vegetables and dumpling flavors.
