- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons white or yellow miso paste
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
Main Ingredients
- 12 frozen dumplings (vegetable or chicken)
- 1 cup baby spinach
- 2 green onions, sliced
Instructions
- Heat Broth: In a medium pot, bring the vegetable broth to a gentle boil over medium heat, preparing a flavorful base for the soup.
- Add Flavorings: Stir in the grated ginger and soy sauce to infuse the broth with aromatic and savory notes.
