A delicious and easy-to-make Asian-inspired soup featuring dumplings and a savory broth.
Heat the sesame oil in a medium pot over medium heat.
Using sesame oil adds a nutty aroma to the soup.
Add the garlic and ginger, and sauté until fragrant.
Be careful not to burn the garlic as it can turn bitter.
Pour in the soy sauce, rice wine, and 4 cups of water, then bring to a boil.
You can use chicken or vegetable stock instead of water for a richer flavor.
Add the dumplings to the boiling broth and cook until they float to the surface.
Stir gently to prevent the dumplings from sticking to the pot.
Beat the egg in a small bowl, then slowly drizzle it into the boiling soup while stirring to create ribbons.
Pour the egg in a thin stream to achieve delicate ribbons.
Season with black pepper and chili oil, then garnish with chopped scallions.
Adjust the seasoning to your taste before serving.
Serve the soup hot and enjoy!
Serve with a side of steamed rice for a complete meal.
