Ingredients
Soup Base
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 1 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
- ¼ tsp fish sauce (optional)
- 1 green onion, white part separated and thinly sliced
Main Ingredients
- 10 frozen dumplings
- ½ cup fresh spinach
Toppings
- ½ tsp sesame seeds
- 1 Tbsp Sichuan Chili Crisp
- Green part of 1 green onion, thinly sliced
Instructions
- Prepare the broth: In a medium-sized pot, combine the vegetable broth, soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, fish sauce if using, and the white parts of the sliced green onion. If incorporating any pre-cooked proteins or additional vegetables that require softening, add them to the pot now.
- Simmer and boil: Bring the broth to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, add the frozen dumplings to the pot.
- Cook the dumplings: Cover the pot and let the soup return to a boil. Allow the dumplings to boil for approximately 2 minutes or according to package instructions until thoroughly cooked.
- Add fresh vegetables: Turn off the heat and stir in the green parts of the sliced green onion along with the fresh spinach, allowing them to wilt gently in the residual heat.
- Serve the soup: Divide the soup evenly between two bowls. Garnish with sesame seeds and a spoonful of Sichuan Chili Crisp for added flavor and heat. Enjoy your warm, flavorful dumpling soup immediately.
