Asian Dumpling Soup

Came home today and had no clue what to make.  I opened the freezer and had some Asian dumplings and decided to experiment and make a soup (I also had to use the veggies I got from Farmers' Market before they went bad on me)! The soup was absolutely delicious and I will definitely add this to the list of dishes I will make over and over again! The best thing about this dish is that is is SUPER fast to make- prep and cook time was like 30 minutes, perfect for a busy week night.

1 pack of frozen Asian dumplings or pot stickers (I used chicken & veggie)
4 baby bok choys, cut into small pieces
1 yellow onion, diced
5 cloves garlic, minced
6 carrots, sliced in thin circles
6-8 cups chicken broth
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons sesame oil
2 teaspoons red pepper flakes
2 teaspoons pepper
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 eggs, whisked
1 green onion, sliced (optional)

Directions:
  • In a big pot, saute onion, garlic, carrots and bok choy in 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil. Let saute about 5 minutes
  • Add chicken stock, seasonings, and sesame oil and bring to a boil.
  • Add dumplings and cook for 3-5 minutes until they are cooked through.
  • Right before you serve, add the egg into the broth and stir.
  • Serve in a bowl and top with some green onions
  • Enjoy!!!

Getting Inspired!

I haven't posted in what seems like forever! Honestly, I really haven't made anything new, I have definitely had a lack of inspiration! BUT, I went to Farmers' Market this past weekend and bought a bounty of goodies that are just waiting to be cooked up! Thought I would share the picture :) Stay tuned...
