Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Frozen dumplings (your choice of filling)
- 6 cups Chicken or vegetable broth
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 2 cups Baby spinach
- 1 cup Carrots, julienned
- 3 stalks Green onions, sliced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Chili oil (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large pot, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and bring to a gentle boil.
Add the soy sauce, salt, and black pepper to the broth, stirring to combine.
Carefully add the frozen dumplings to the boiling broth, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Cook according to the package instructions, typically 6-8 minutes, or until they float to the surface and are fully cooked.
Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the julienned carrots and let them simmer for 2-3 minutes to slightly soften.
Stir in the baby spinach and sliced green onions, cooking for another 1-2 minutes until the spinach wilts.
Taste the broth and adjust the seasonings with additional soy sauce or salt, if needed.
Ladle the soup into bowls, ensuring each serving gets a fair share of dumplings and vegetables.
Drizzle with a little chili oil, if desired, for extra heat, and serve immediately.
