In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground meat, green onions, minced garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, and ground ginger. Mix until well combined.
Place about 1 teaspoon of filling in the center of each dumpling wrapper. Moisten the edges with water, fold over, and press to seal. Set the prepared dumplings aside.
Spicy Broth Preparation:
In a large pot, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sliced ginger, sautéing until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
Add the chicken or vegetable broth, soy sauce, and chili paste or Sriracha. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.
Stir in the carrots and mushrooms, simmering for about 5 minutes until they begin to soften.
Cooking the Dumplings:
Carefully add the prepared dumplings to the simmering broth. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the dumplings are cooked through and float to the surface.
Add the bok choy or spinach and cook for an additional 2 minutes, just until wilted.
Serving:
Ladle the soup into bowls, ensuring each serving has a generous portion of dumplings and vegetables. Garnish with chopped green onions.
Serve hot, enjoying the warming and spicy flavors.
Storage Options:
Store any leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The dumplings will continue to absorb the broth, so consider adding a little extra broth when reheating. This soup can also be frozen for up to 2 months—simply reheat gently on the stovetop when ready to enjoy.
Enjoy this Spicy Dumpling Soup as a flavorful and comforting meal, perfect for warming up on a cold day or whenever you’re craving something hearty and satisfying!
