Ingredients
Dumplings
- ½ lb ground chicken or pork
- 1 tsp soy sauce or coconut aminos
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp ground ginger
Soup
- 4 cups broth (chicken or vegetable)
- 2 tbsp miso paste
- Green onions, sliced (for garnish)
- Mushroom slices (optional)
- Sesame oil (for drizzling)
Instructions
- Prepare Dumplings: In a bowl, combine ground chicken or pork with soy sauce or coconut aminos, garlic powder, and ground ginger. Mix thoroughly and shape the mixture into small, bite-sized balls.
- Simmer Broth: In a pot, bring the broth and additional soy sauce to a gentle simmer. Avoid boiling at this stage to preserve flavor.
- Cook Dumplings and Mushrooms: Carefully add the dumplings and optional mushroom slices to the simmering broth. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes until the dumplings are cooked through and tender.
- Add Miso Paste: Lower the heat and stir in the miso paste until fully dissolved. Do not bring the soup to a boil after adding the miso to maintain its delicate flavors and beneficial enzymes.
- Garnish and Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with sliced green onions, and drizzle with a small amount of sesame oil for added aroma and depth of flavor. Serve hot.
Notes
- Do not boil the soup after adding miso paste to preserve its flavor and nutritional benefits.
- For a heartier soup, add shirataki noodles or other low-carb noodles.
- Use coconut aminos as a soy sauce alternative for a gluten-free and lower sodium option.
