Equipment

  • 1 mixing bowl
  • 1 rolling pin
  • 1 pot
  • 1 slotted spoon
  • 1 soup ladle

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • 1/2 cup ground meat (chicken, pork, or beef)
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup sliced carrots
  • 1 cup fresh spinach
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • fresh cilantro for garnish

Instructions
 

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt for the dumplings.
  • Gradually add water to the flour mixture and mix until a dough forms. Knead for about 5 minutes until smooth. Cover and let it rest for 15 minutes.
  • In another bowl, mix ground meat, chopped green onions, black pepper, and a pinch of salt and garlic. Set aside.
  • Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness. Cut the dough into small squares (about 2 inches).
  • Place a spoonful of the meat mixture in the center of each square. Fold the squares over to form triangles, pinching the edges to seal.
  • In a pot, bring the chicken broth to a gentle boil. Add sliced carrots, ginger, and soy sauce. Cook for 5 minutes.
  • Carefully drop the dumplings into the broth, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Cook for an additional 10 minutes until the dumplings are cooked through.
  • Add fresh spinach and cook for another 1-2 minutes until wilted.
  • Season the soup with salt, pepper, and additional soy sauce if desired.
  • Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.

Notes

You can customize the filling of the dumplings by adding vegetables or different types of meat.
For a vegetarian version, use vegetable broth and fill the dumplings with a mixture of chopped vegetables.
Dumpling Soup can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on the stove.
