Notes
* I use the Better Than Bouillon mix to make my broth. Both vegetable and chicken flavored broths will work! You can use any instant broth or pre-made broth (store-bought or homemade). If you use a low-sodium broth, the final dish may need more salt to taste.
** I usually find Asian-style dumplings in the freezer section at my local grocery store. You can use any flavor dumpling (pork, vegetable, chicken, etc.), but I prefer ones with pork and vegetables. *** or baby bok choy
