Preparation
- Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the noodles and cook according to package instructions, until the noodles are just tender. Drain, rinse with cold water and drain well again. Divide them among four serving bowls.
- Step 2
Place the same large pot over medium heat, and add sesame oil, ginger, and garlic. Stir and cook for 30 seconds, until aromatic. Add turmeric, and stir for 15 seconds, until fragrant.
- Step 3
Pour the vegetable stock into the pot, then season with 1 teaspoon of salt. Cover and cook for 8 to 10 minutes on medium heat, to allow flavors to meld.
- Step 4
Remove the lid and add the miso paste, stirring constantly until it is dissolved. Taste, and season with more salt, if needed.
- Step 5
Increase the heat to medium-high, and carefully drop the dumplings into the broth. When they float to the top, add the baby bok choy and broccoli, and cook for about 2 minutes, just until the broccoli is crisp-tender.
- Step 6
Ladle the broth, dumplings, baby bok choy and broccoli into the four bowls over the noodles. To serve, top with cilantro or chopped scallions.

Tip of the Day! Just a nutrtional note. Boiling miso kills all the good properties/attributes it provides. So whenever using miso, always add it last to the hot broth, after any 'boilage' is needed in a recipe (ie: dumplings, noodles, veg etc.). And when reheating, turn off just before simmering. Itadakimasu!
Seems like an obvious and easy modification of this would be to use a high quality packaged ramen and add the dumplings, bok choy, and broccoli. That's what I will plan on.
I make a similar soup with 10 Trader Joe frozen dumplings, a quart of chicken broth, 2 tablespoons of rice vinegar, and 1/2 teaspoon of sesame oil, a large handful of Portabella mushrooms & 4 green onions. Adding hot oil or sriracha sauce is optional. You could also add broccoli or baby box choy or substitute a vegetarian broth. Similar dumplings are available at Costco, Gordon Food Service and grocery stores. Recipe provides 2 servings for a light lunch.
I have a lot of fun with this concept and throw in whatever seems to fit- kimchi, frozen peas, tofu, leftover rice, an egg. So good! Especially when it’s cold out or you’re fighting a cold. I like to slice or dice the ginger so you get the occasional bite.
I made the broth (probably with more ginger) and then accidentally threw in my vegetables before the dumplings, but it was fine. For the vegetables, I used a bunch of broccolini (chopped into small pieces), some sliced mushrooms, and about a 1/3 of a head of cabbage (cut into strips). I added a bag of mung bean sprouts about halfway through. I forgot to make the noodles, and we didn't miss them at all. I also added a couple of grinds of pepper to activate the turmeric. So good.
I made this exactly as written, except I added about two teaspoons of Taiwanese black bean soy sauce. So good!
