Gather your ingredients on the kitchen counter, including the dumplings, broth, ginger, garlic, green onions, and spinach or bok choy.

In a large pot, heat a splash of cooking oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, stirring for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Pour in the chicken broth, bringing it to a gentle boil. Carefully add the dumplings and simmer for 5-7 minutes.

After simmering for 5 minutes, stir in the spinach or bok choy and drizzle in the soy sauce. Cook until the greens are just wilted, about 2-3 minutes.

Drizzle in sesame oil before serving, stirring well and adjusting seasoning as needed.

Ladle the soup into bowls, garnishing with chopped green onions. Serve immediately.
