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, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Sauce: In a pot, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, infusing the butter with garlic flavor.
- Add Cream and Gochujang: Pour in the heavy cream, water, and gochujang. Stir the mixture until fully combined and bring the sauce to a gentle simmer, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Cook Dumplings: Gently add the frozen soup dumplings into the simmering sauce, spacing them out to avoid sticking. Cover the pot with a lid and cook for about 12 minutes, or until the dumplings are completely cooked through and tender.
- Finish and Serve: Remove the lid and turn off the heat. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the dumplings and garnish with chopped chives or sage if desired. Serve the dish hot for maximum flavor and enjoyment.
Notes
- Ensure dumplings are frozen prior to cooking to avoid overcooking.
- Adjust the amount of gochujang based on your preferred spice level.
- Use fresh grated Parmesan for best flavor and texture.
- Optional herbs like sage or chives add a fresh, aromatic finish but can be omitted.
- Keep an eye on the sauce consistency and add a splash of water if it reduces too much during cooking.
