Garnishes (Optional)

Instructions

1. Combine the vegetable broth, soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, and the white parts of a sliced green onion in a medium-sized pot. (If using, also add the fish sauce, pre-cooked proteins or tofu, and any fresh or frozen vegetables that need time to soften.)
2. Bring the broth up to a boil on medium-high heat. Once boiling, add the dumplings.
3. Cover the pot and allow the soup to come back up to a boil. Boil the dumplings for about 2 minutes or until they are cooked through. (Consult package directions.)

5. Split the soup into 2 serving bowls and top with any desired condiments.

Notes

The Chef uses Better Than Bouillon mixed to make all of our broths. If substituted with a low-sodium broth, the final dish may need more salt.

You can use any flavour (pork, vegetable, chicken, etc.), but I prefer ones with pork and vegetables.

Or baby bok choy.
