   Steamed Pork & Vegetable Dumplings

   Bibigo

   Thin wrappers, juicy filling, and they cook in a few minutes from frozen. The base for a five-minute dumpling soup that tastes like a Seoul lunch counter.

   A freezer staple at H Mart and most Korean markets, and in big bags at Costco and most supermarkets.

   The box saysMicrowave 1 1/2 minutes covered, or pan-fry 6 to 8 minutes.

   Mandu-guk: a five-minute dumpling soup with egg

   Korean dumpling soup (mandu-guk) is a weeknight classic. Broth, dumplings, an egg swirled in at the end and a little sesame. Frozen dumplings were made for it.

   Save to my recipes

   You need

   • 12 Bibigo Steamed Pork & Vegetable Dumplings, frozen
   • 4 cups (950 ml) chicken or beef broth
   • 1 tbsp soy sauce (Korean soup soy sauce if you have it)
   • 1 garlic clove, grated
   • 1 large egg, beaten
   • 2 scallions, sliced
   • 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
   • 1 sheet roasted seaweed (gim), cut into strips, and black pepper

   How to make it

   1. Bring the broth, soy sauce and garlic to a boil in a medium pot.
   2. Drop in the frozen dumplings and simmer 5 to 6 minutes, until they float and the wrappers turn translucent.
   3. Stir the soup in a slow circle and drizzle in the beaten egg. Leave it 20 seconds so it sets into soft ribbons.
   4. Taste and add a pinch of salt or more soy sauce.
   5. Ladle into bowls and finish with the scallions, sesame oil, seaweed strips and black pepper.

   Chef's own upgrade, in our words. Save it and it opens in Chef Amazing with a timeline, the prep laid out and what you already have.
