Instructions
Instructions
- Heat your pressure cooker pot over medium heat and add the toasted sesame oil. You're gonna smell that nutty scent right away.
- Add minced garlic and ginger; stir and saute about 2 minutes. The kitchen fills with that cozy aroma, hinting the soup's about to start.
- Pour in the chicken stock and soy sauce, then bring the broth to a gentle simmer. You see the steam cues, the bubbles just starting to dance.
- Throw in the sliced green onions and carrots. Let them cook about 5 minutes till the carrots get tender but still a little crunch.
- Next you add the frozen dumplings. Follow package cooking times usually about 5 to 7 minutes. Dumplings soften up just right, ready for that tender pull.
- Stir in fresh spinach, cooking till it wilts, about 1 to 2 minutes. The greens brighten the whole bowl, giving a fresh finish.
- Season with sea salt to your liking. Quick release the pressure cooker valve and listen to that hiss before you dish up piping hot bowls.
