Instructions
- Craft an aromatic foundation by warming sesame oil in a spacious soup vessel, introducing minced ginger and chopped white sections of green onions. Allow these ingredients to release their fragrant essence through gentle sautéing, ensuring continuous stirring to prevent scorching.
- Stream chicken bone broth into the infused pot, escalating heat to maximum and inducing a rolling boil. Cover the vessel to accelerate the heating process.
- Carefully slide frozen or fresh dumplings into the bubbling liquid, monitoring their cooking progression. Gently agitate the contents periodically to prevent dumpling adhesion to the pot’s base.
- Introduce tender baby spinach leaves into the soup, stirring methodically to encourage even wilting. Maintain the spinach’s vibrant emerald color and delicate texture through brief immersion.
- Extract the pot from heat source, transforming the soup into a visually appealing dish. Enhance the flavor profile by drizzling toasted sesame oil and chili oil across the surface.
- Conclude the preparation by sprinkling sliced green onion greens as a final flourish. Present the steaming soup immediately, accompanying it with a small dish of soy sauce for personalized seasoning.
