Method :
- Here"s what you"ll need.
- This is a great dumpling brand. You can find this, as well as all other ingredients listed in your local Asian market. It"s also much cheaper to shop there. This entire dish - enough to feed four - cost less than $10.00.
- Mix everything in the FOR THE BROTH LIQUIDS/SEASONINGS section and bring broth to a gentle simmer.
- Chop and prepare everything in the FOR THE HERBS & VEGETABLES section.
- Allow your vegetables and herbs to simmer for 30 minutes.
- Bring pot up to a steady boil and add your frozen dumplings and your reserved 1 cup of sprouts. It"s important your reserve your 1 cup sprouts be added last for texture, bite and snap.
- At 10 minutes in to your dumpling boil, add your Thai Basil. Then simmer 5 minutes longer. This is another important step. The fresh Thai Basil will add to the sweetness.
- Stir constantly as so your dumplings don"t stick together. Because they will. Also, stir from the bottom as to not break up your dumplings.
- You"ll know your dumplings are fully cooked when they float.
- Know your soup will thicken up with the addition of your dumplings.
- Serve immediately with sides of fresh lime wedges, fresh Cilantro leaves, garlic chilie sauce, soy sauce, fish sauce and fresh Thai Basil.
- Thai Basil really does make this dish! So does the chilled pickled Ginger! Try just one hot dumpling with chilled pickled ginger on it. I swear, it"s a freaking life changer!
- Enjoy!
