Ingredients
  

For the Dumplings:

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup water (adjust as needed)

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 lb ground pork (or chicken)

2 green onions, finely chopped

1 tbsp ginger, minced

1 tbsp garlic, minced

1 tbsp soy sauce

1 tbsp sesame oil

1/2 tsp chili flakes (more if you like it spicier)

For the Soup:

6 cups chicken broth

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 tablespoon chili oil (more to taste)

1 tsp rice vinegar

1 carrot, julienned

1 cup bok choy, chopped

1 cup mushrooms, sliced (shiitake or button)

Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions
 

Make the Dumpling Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Gradually add water, mixing until a dough forms. Knead for about 5 minutes on a floured surface until smooth. Cover and set aside.

    Prepare the Filling: In another bowl, mix the ground pork (or chicken), green onions, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, and chili flakes until well combined.

      Shape the Dumplings: Roll the dough into thin sheets and cut into circles (about 3 inches in diameter). Place about a teaspoon of the filling in the center of each circle. Fold the dough over and pinch to seal tightly. Make sure there are no air pockets.

        Cook the Dumplings: In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Gently add the dumplings (in batches if necessary) and boil for about 5-7 minutes or until they float to the surface. Remove and set aside.

          Prepare the Soup: In a large pot, heat the chicken broth over medium heat. Add soy sauce, chili oil, and rice vinegar. Stir in the carrots, bok choy, and mushrooms. Simmer for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

            Combine Dumplings and Soup: Carefully add the cooked dumplings to the soup. Allow to simmer together for additional 2-3 minutes to blend flavors.

              Serve: Ladle the spicy dumpling soup into bowls, garnish with fresh cilantro, and serve with lime wedges for a refreshing burst of flavor.
