• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup water
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon oil
• 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
• 1 cup chopped bok choy
• 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms

How to Make this Dumpling Wrap In Vegetables Soup Recipe

1. In a mixing bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and oil. While mixing, slowly add water until a dough forms. Knead the dough until smooth, about 5 minutes. Cover and let rest for 30 minutes.

2. Shape the rested dough by rolling it into a log and dividing it into small parts. Each part is then rolled into a circle so that the wrapper is the right size and thickness. The wrapper is thinner on the edges and slightly thicker in the middle, which allows it to hold its shape without tearing when the dumpling is filled and shaped. When all the wrappers are made, prepare the filling.

3. In a saucepan, warm a tablespoon of sesame oil over medium heat. Wait until the oil is hot, then add minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté these aromatics for one minute until they are very fragrant.

4. Put into the pot the sliced mushrooms and the shredded carrots. Cook them for 3-5 minutes until they soften.

5. Add the chicken or vegetable broth and the soy sauce. Bring it to a low simmer.

6. Include the diced bok choy and any already prepared choice of protein (like chicken or tofu) in the broth, stirring gently. Allow the mixture to bubble gently for another five minutes.

7. Taste the salt and pepper in the soup and adjust to your liking.

8. With great care, place the prepared dumpling wrappers into the simmering broth, one at a time. Let them simmer until they have floated to the top and are tender (3-4 minutes).

9. After cooking the dumplings, take the pot from the fire.

10. Before serving, top the soup with chopped scallions. If you wish, you can drizzle extra sesame oil on the soup before serving it. Enjoy your Vegetable Soup with Dumpling Wrappers!
