- Cooking method: Simmer
- Prep time: 15 minutes
- Cook time: 20 minutes
- Cuisine type: Asian Fusion
Ingredients
- 6 pre-made dumplings of your choice (frozen or fresh)
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1/2 cup sliced shiitake mushrooms
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/4 cup baby spinach
- Salt and pepper to taste
Cooking Instructions
- In a medium pot, add 2 cups of chicken broth and bring to a simmer over medium heat. No need to rush, it’s not a race!
- Add the sliced shiitake mushrooms, minced garlic, and soy sauce. Continue to simmer for 5 minutes, until the mushrooms are tender but not falling apart like your love life after a series finale.
- Gently place the dumplings into the pot. Avoid overcrowding them; they deserve personal space too. Cook for an additional 7-10 minutes, until dumplings are cooked through. Check the packaging instructions if you’re unsure—think of it as googling life advice.
- Stir in the chopped green onions and baby spinach. Cook for another 2 minutes until the greens are wilted but still got some pep in their step.
- Add sesame oil, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Make sure it’s tasty enough that you’d happily eat it even if you were a multi-millionaire (because maybe one day).
- Serve immediately in a large bowl. Enjoy your small feast like the independent star you are.
Suggestions
Get wild and mix things up with alternative dumplings like pork, shrimp, or veggie. Garnish with fresh cilantro, a splash of lime juice, or even some chili flakes if you’re feeling spicy. For an extra oomph, throw in a boiled egg or some tofu cubes. Remember: it’s your soup, and it can be anything you want it to be. Go forth and conquer your kitchen!
