Cook time: 20 minutes

Serves: 4

Ingredients

Here are the ingredients required to make soup dumplings at home:

6 cups chicken stock

1 bunch bok choy, quartered lengthways

1 tablespoon sesame oil, to serve (optional)

Garlic chilli crisp, to serve

Extra spring onion, finely sliced, to serve

Fresh coriander, finely chopped, to serve

Filing

500g pork mince

Two spring onions, finely sliced

One teaspoon minced garlic

One tablespoon of Shaoxing wine

One and a half tablespoons of soy sauce

Pepper, to taste

Wrapper

Half a cup of potato starch

One cup of cold water

Method

Here’s the step-by-step process to make soup dumplings at home:

Step 1: In a large bowl, combine the pork mince, spring onion, garlic, pepper, Shaoxing wine and soy sauce. Mix well until everything is evenly combined.

Step 2: Shape the mixture into small bite-sized meatballs, about the size of a golf ball.

Step 3: Lightly coat each meatball in potato starch, then dip it into cold water and coat again with potato starch. This creates a delicate outer layer that mimics a dumpling wrapper.

Step 4: Place a large pot over medium-high heat and bring the chicken stock to a boil.

Step 5: Carefully drop the coated meatballs into the boiling broth.

Step 6: Allow the dumplings to cook for five to six minutes or until they are cooked through and floating to the surface.

Step 7: Add the bok choy and cook for one to two more minutes, until just tender but still vibrant.

Step 8: Ladle the soup into bowls and finish with a drizzle of Marion’s Kitchen Garlic Chilli Crisp and sesame oil (if using). Top with extra spring onion and coriander if using.

Step 9: Serve immediately while hot and enjoy every comforting spoonful.
