Ingredients
- 1-2 tablespoon avocado oil
- 2-3 carrots, sliced
- 2-3 celery ribs, sliced
- 1 bunch green onion, whites and greens separated and sliced
- 8 cups chicken broth
- 4-5 garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 3 tablespoon tamari or soy sauce
- 1½ tablespoon toasted sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 8 cups chicken broth
- ½ tsp turmeric
- ½ teaspoon Chinese five spice optional and see note below
- 5 oz package enoki mushrooms or your favorite mushroom blend
- 3 cups baby bok choy, chopped
- 1 lb frozen dumplings or potstickers I used the mini ones
- juice of 1 lime
- kosher salt and fresh ground pepper, to taste
- bean sprouts, cilantro, chili crisp, sliced jalapeño for garnish
Instructions
- Sauté the carrots, celery, and whites of the onions in the avocado oil over medium-high heat. Once they begin to soften, add the broth.
- Add the tamari or soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, and fish sauce along with the garlic and ginger to the broth. Stir in the optional Chinese Five Spice and turmeric and bring the soup to a simmer.
- Taste the soup base. If you think it needs more salt, add more tamari or kosher salt.
- Add the baby bok choy and enoki mushrooms to the simmering liquid. Cook until you achieve your desired tenderness.
- Once your baby bok choy is tender to your liking, add the dumplings and cook until they're warmed through. Finish with a healthy squeeze of fresh lime juice.
- Garnish with green onion tops, fresh bean sprouts, cilantro, sliced jalapeños and chili crisp!
Notes
Chinese Five Spice Note: This spice blend is very strong and contains things like cinnamon and star anise (which is licorice-like in flavor). If you don't like these things or don't want to use it, simply leave it out. This recipe will be fantastic without it!
Dumpling Note: Dumpling skin is very delicate and doesn't reheat well. If you're not going to eat this entire recipe in one sitting, only heat the dumpling you plan on consuming right then. Texturally, they will be better if not reheated.
