Ingredients

Scale

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 cup cold water
1 cup ground chicken or pork (or tofu)
1/4 cup green onions, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 cup mixed vegetables (carrots, bok choy, mushrooms)
2 tbsp soy sauce (low-sodium preferred)
1 tsp sesame oil

Instructions

In a large bowl, mix flour and salt. Gradually add cold water while stirring until a smooth dough forms. Knead gently for about 5 minutes until elastic.
In another bowl, combine ground meat with green onions, garlic, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Roll small pieces of dough into circles (~3 inches wide). Place a teaspoon of filling in each circle, fold over, and pinch to seal.
In a pot over medium heat, bring chicken broth and sliced vegetables to a gentle boil.
Drop in dumplings once the broth is bubbling; cook for 8–10 minutes or until they float.
Stir in additional soy sauce and sesame oil before serving. Garnish with green onions if desired.
