This veggie packed dumpling noodle soup can be made easily in one pot! Frozen gyoza (potstickers) makes this so easy to prepare on a weeknight and it's a filling, hearty dinner thanks to the addition of noodles. My recipe takes advantage of springtime green vegetables, but it can be made with whatever is available in your fridge, and it's easily vegan if using egg free noodles.
1bunchasparagus, broccolini, or a mix of both, trimmed and chopped into large pieces
4cups(1l)vegetable stock
2Tbspsoy sauce
1tsptoasted sesame oil
1tspbrown miso
8frozen gyoza dumplings
1.5tspminced garlic
1.5tspminced ginger
chili slices, for garnish
Instructions
Heat a layer of olive oil in a pan and saute the shiitake mushrooms, the whiter parts of the spring onion, garlic and ginger until the mushrooms are starting to brown. Deglaze the pan with some of your vegetable stock if anything starts to stick.
1 bunch green (spring) onions, 4-5 oz shiitake mushrooms, 1.5 tsp minced ginger, 1.5 tsp minced garlic
Add the broccolini and asparagus and stir fry briefly until they are well mixed in, and starting to go a brighter shade of green.
1 bunch asparagus, broccolini, or a mix of both
Add the vegetable stock, soy sauce and toasted sesame oil to the pan, followed by the noodle nests and gyoza.
Bring to a simmer and allow to cook for 3-4 minutes. Use chopsticks to encourage the noodles to come loose and cook, but try to leave the gyoza undisturbed as much as possible (we don't want them to break). Once it's all cooked through, remove from the heat, add the miso to the soup and gently mix through.
1 tsp brown miso
Serve into bowls, garnishing with chili and the green tops from the onions.
