Ingredients

• 1 cup ground pork
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon grated ginger
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 24 dumpling wrappers
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 4 ounces rice noodles
• 1 cup fresh spinach
• 2 green onions, sliced
• ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil (optional)

How to Make Steamed Dumplings in Broth

1. In a medium bowl, combine the ground pork, soy sauce, grated ginger, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix until well combined.
2. Place a small spoonful of the pork mixture into the center of each dumpling wrapper. Moisten the edges with water and fold the wrapper over to create a half-moon shape. Pinch the edges to seal tightly.
3. In a large pot, bring the chicken broth to a simmer over medium heat. Add the sesame oil if using.
4. Meanwhile, prepare the rice noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
5. Once the broth is simmering, carefully place the dumplings into a steamer basket and steam over the broth for about 10 minutes, or until the pork is cooked through.
6. After the dumplings are cooked, add the spinach to the simmering broth and let it wilt for about 2 minutes.
7. To serve, place a portion of rice noodles in a bowl, ladle the broth and spinach over the noodles, and top with the steamed dumplings. Garnish with sliced green onions and chopped cilantro.

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure the dumpling wrappers are sealed well to prevent them from opening during steaming.
• Feel free to add more vegetables to the broth, such as mushrooms or bok choy, for added flavor and nutrition.
• If you prefer a spicier broth, add a splash of chili oil or a dash of red pepper flakes.

Easy Variations

• Substitute ground chicken or turkey for the pork for a lighter option.
• Use a vegetarian filling made with finely chopped mushrooms, tofu, and vegetables for a meat-free version.
• Try using homemade broth for an extra depth of flavor.

What to Serve With It

• A side of pickled vegetables for a tangy contrast.
• Steamed edamame sprinkled with sea salt.
• A light salad with a sesame dressing.
• Crispy spring rolls as an appetizer.
