Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of sesame oil over medium heat until it shimmers, about 1–2 minutes.
- Add 2 teaspoons of minced ginger and 3 cloves of minced garlic to the pot. Sauté these for 1–2 minutes until fragrant and slightly golden.
- Pour in 6 cups of low-sodium vegetable broth, 2 tablespoons of low-sodium soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar. Optional: Add 1 teaspoon of chili garlic sauce. Bring to a gentle boil for about 4–5 minutes.
- Once boiling, stir in 1 cup of sliced mushrooms and simmer for 3–4 minutes until tender and juicy.
- Add 3 cups of chopped baby bok choy or spinach and simmer for an additional 2–3 minutes until wilted and vibrant.
- Gently add 12–16 frozen dumplings to the pot and simmer for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally until cooked through.
- Taste the broth and season with black pepper to your preference. Add red pepper flakes if desired.
- Ladle the hot soup into bowls, topping each with 1 tablespoon of chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds.
