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
- ½ cup water
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
Garnish
- Parmesan cheese, grated
- Chopped chives or sage (optional)
Instructions
- Sauté 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, being careful not to burn it.
- Prepare Sauce: Add heavy cream, water, and gochujang to the pot. Stir to combine all ingredients thoroughly and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
- Cook Dumplings: Place the frozen soup dumplings into the sauce, ensuring they have some space between them. Cover the pot with a lid and cook for about 12 minutes, or until the dumplings are fully cooked through.
- Finish & Serve: Remove the lid and turn off the heat. Sprinkle grated parmesan cheese on top of the dumplings, garnish with chopped sage or chives if desired. Serve hot immediately and enjoy your creamy gochujang soup dumplings.
Notes
- Make sure to use frozen soup dumplings; cooking time may vary for fresh dumplings.
- Adjust the amount of gochujang based on your preferred spice level.
- Stir occasionally to prevent the cream from scorching at the bottom of the pot.
- For a dairy-free option, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream and butter with a plant-based alternative.
- Garnishes like fresh herbs enhance flavor and presentation but are optional.
