Start by chopping the onion into small cubes. Cut the carrots into thin strips (julienne) so they cook evenly. Grate the garlic and ginger to release their flavor.Pick out a few cilantro leaves and set them aside (we will add them in a later step), then roughly chop the rest, leaving a bit of the stems. We use the stems for flavor instead of dried coriander.
In a large pot over medium-high heat, heat the vegetable oil. Add the chopped onion and carrots and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until they start to soften.Stir in the grated garlic, ginger, and cilantro stems. Cook for another minute.
Add the chicken stock, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Bring to simmer
Meanwhile, chop the mushrooms into bite-sized pieces. Cut the bok choy into quarters, keeping the leaves and stems intact. Add the bok choy, mushrooms, and cilantro leaves to the pot. Stir everything together to combine.
Add the dumplings to the pot and stir gently and bring the mixture to a boil. Allow to cook according to the dumplings' instructions on the pack. Finally add your chopped green onions. Taste and adjust the salt if needed.
Notes
Each serving is 4 dumplings and about 1 and a half cups of soup.
