Bok Choy and Dumplings In Lemongrass Broth

A super quick and easy soup to make that is full of flavour from the lemongrass broth. See recipe: Spicy Lemongrass Broth

I make the broth ahead, then all I need to do is bring some broth to a boil, add dumplings or wontons, and baby Bok choy, and voila!  Soup is ready in minutes.

Best part, you can make a single serving at a time, making it a perfect workday lunch.

Use fresh, or frozen dumplings or wontons with your choice of filling; vegetable, chicken, or pork.
