Japanese dumpling soup

Virginia MacDonald

Not all soups are created equal. This fast, flavourful meal in a bowl needs less than 10 minutes of simmering to produce an incredibly authentic-tasting broth.

Ingredients

  • 1-in piece of ginger

  • 14-g pkg dried shitake or mixed mushrooms

  • 900-ml carton chicken broth

  • 1 tbsp teriyaki sauce

  • 1 tsp dark sesame oil

  • 1 baby bok choy, or 1/2 small bok choy

  • 2 green onions

  • 300-g pkg or 1/2 600-g pkg frozen Asian dumplings

  • 1/4 cup frozen peas, or shelled edamame

Instructions

  • Peel ginger, then thinly slice. If mushrooms are large, break in half. Stir both in a large saucepan with broth, teriyaki and sesame oil. Bring to a boil over high heat.

  • Meanwhile, thinly slice bok choy and onions. When broth is boiling, add dumplings. Bring back to a boil. Following package directions, cook dumplings, uncovered, and stirring occasionally until done, from 8 to 12 min. Stir in bok choy, onions and peas for the last 2 min of cooking.
