Ingredients

Scale

Gyoza Dumplings

  • 12–16 traditional pork or vegetable gyoza dumplings (fresh or frozen)

Broth and Aromatics

  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil

Vegetables and Garnishes

  • 1 cup napa cabbage or bok choy, chopped
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Broth: Warm the chicken or vegetable broth in a large pot over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, allowing their aromas to infuse as the broth gently simmers.
  2. Add Vegetables: Once the broth begins to bubble lightly, add the chopped napa cabbage or bok choy. Let the greens soften, contributing freshness and texture to the soup.
  3. Cook the Gyoza Dumplings: Gently place the frozen or fresh gyoza dumplings directly into the simmering broth. Cook them for 5 to 7 minutes, or until they float and the filling is fully cooked through, ensuring a tender and juicy bite.
  4. Season the Soup: Stir in soy sauce and drizzle sesame oil into the pot. This creates a balanced, savory, and nutty flavor throughout the broth.
  5. Add Fresh Garnishes: Turn off the heat and sprinkle the sliced green onions over the soup for a burst of color and crisp, mild flavor. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Choose fresh or high-quality frozen dumplings for best texture and flavor.
  • Keep the broth at a gentle simmer to prevent dumplings from breaking apart.
  • Prep vegetables and ingredients ahead of time to speed up cooking.
  • Taste the broth before serving and adjust soy sauce or add umami boosters as desired.
  • Fresh herbs like cilantro or shiso leaves can be added for extra freshness.
  • This recipe is versatile: swap proteins, add vegetables, or adjust seasonings to taste.
