Asian Dumpling Soup
Ingredients MAKES 4 SERVINGS
4 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
2 teaspoons soy sauce
1 small clove garlic, crushed
1 16-ounce bag frozen Thai shrimp gyoza, or pot stickers
3 cups refrigerated or frozen stir-fry vegetables, any variety
1 egg (optional)
1 teaspoon dark sesame oil
Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
In a medium pot, heat broth, soy sauce and garlic over medium-high heat. Bring mixture to a boil. Add gyoza and vegetables. When mixture boils again, reduce heat to medium-low and cook for 5 minutes.
If using egg, beat with a fork until frothy. Slowly pour into boiling soup in a thin stream, creating cooked ribbons of egg. If you prefer, you can pan-fry the egg, cut into strips or squares, and use as a garnish.
Remove from heat. Stir in sesame oil. Season to taste with pepper.
