Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 12 pieces pork dumplings
- 1 pound ground pork (for homemade dumplings)
Vegetables:
- 2 cups bok choy or spinach
- 3 green onions
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 piece fresh ginger
Liquid:
- 4 cups (32 fluid ounces) low-sodium chicken broth
Instructions
- Infuse a large pot with vibrant flavors by simmering chicken broth with aromatic minced garlic and zesty grated ginger over medium heat for 5 minutes, allowing the ingredients to meld together.
- Gently lower pork dumplings into the simmering broth, cooking them according to package guidelines until they gracefully rise to the surface, typically taking 4-6 minutes.
- Introduce tender bok choy or spinach during the final minute of cooking, allowing the greens to delicately wilt and incorporate their fresh essence into the soup.
- Finish the dish by sprinkling chopped green onions throughout the soup just before serving, and optionally garnish with an additional sprinkle of green onions for a burst of color and flavor.
Notes
- Enhance broth depth by adding a splash of rice wine or soy sauce for extra umami flavor.
- Swap pork dumplings with vegetarian alternatives like tofu or mushroom-filled potstickers for a plant-based version.
- Customize heat level by adding a drizzle of chili oil or sprinkle of red pepper flakes for those who enjoy spiciness.
- Boost nutrition by including additional vegetables like sliced carrots or mushrooms during the cooking process for more texture and nutrients.
