Total Time: 17 mins Preparation Time: 2 mins Cook Time: 15 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• 3 tablespoons dark sesame oil
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 2 tablespoons minced garlic
• 6 cups beef stock (or chicken stock)
• pepper
• 12 -24 gyoza dumplings
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1/2 cup minced scallion

Recipe

• 1 put 2 t. sesame oil in saucepan; turn heat to medium. add onion; cook, stirring occasionally, until it is softened, about 5 minutes. add garlic and cook, stirring once or twice, for another minute.
• 2 add stock. bring almost to a boil, then lower to a simmer. add plenty of black pepper to taste. add dumplings and continue to simmer. cook until dumplings are hot, about 5 - 10 minutes more. add soy sauce and remaining sesame oil to soup. garnish with scallion once it's in the individual serving bowl(s).
• 3 note: if you are not using homemade, unsalted broth, i would not put in all the soy sauce at once. put it in one tablespoon at a time and see if the saltiness level is right for you or if it needs more. if you have a salty broth and put in the soy sauce all at once, you could end up ruining it.
