Recipe creator’s comments
Day-Lee’s shrimp dumplings are a fantastic addition to my freezer stash!

They’re so convenient to have on hand for a quick meal, and I love how they pair perfectly with soup. The shrimp filling is flavorful and the dumplings cook up easily, making them ideal for those busy days when you need something fast yet delicious. Highly recommend keeping these in your freezer for an easy, satisfying meal!

❶ To prepare the broth, bring 3 cups of water to a gentle boil in a medium-sized pot. Stir in the dashi stock and add the kombu seaweed. Remove the kombu seaweed, cut it into pieces, and set it aside.

❷ In a pot, sauté the green onions and garlic until aromatic. Then add the prepared broth.


❸ Add the tofu, seaweed, and frozen shrimp dumplings to the broth. Cook covered for about 5-6 minutes, or until the dumplings float to the surface and are fully heated through.

❹ Incorporate the miso: Turn off the heat. In a separate small bowl, mix the miso paste with a ladleful of the hot broth until smooth.
Return the miso mixture to the pot and stir well. Avoid boiling the soup after adding the miso to preserve its flavor and nutrients.
Taste the soup and add soy sauce or salt if needed. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with thinly sliced green onions.
