Ingredients
Scale
Soup Dumplings
- 8–10 frozen soup dumplings
Sauce
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp gochujang
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup water
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
Garnish
- Parmesan cheese, grated
- Chopped chives or sage, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Sauté the Garlic: In a pot, melt 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, taking care not to let it burn.
- Prepare the Sauce: Pour in 1 cup of heavy cream, 1/2 cup of water, and 1 tablespoon of gochujang. Stir the mixture thoroughly until well combined. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer to allow the flavors to meld.
- Cook the Dumplings: Add the frozen soup dumplings into the simmering sauce, arranging them with some space in between. Cover the pot with a lid and let them cook for about 12 minutes, or until the dumplings are fully heated and cooked through. Once done, turn off the heat and remove the lid.
- Add Cheese and Garnish: Sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan cheese over the dumplings in the creamy sauce. Garnish with chopped chives or sage, if using, to add a fresh herbal note. Serve immediately while hot and enjoy!
Notes
- Ensure not to overcrowd the pot to allow even cooking of dumplings.
- You can adjust the spiciness by varying the amount of gochujang used.
- Fresh herbs like chives or sage add brightness but can be omitted if unavailable.
- Use unsalted butter to control the salt level in the dish.
- For a lighter alternative, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or coconut cream.
