Instructions

  1. Step 1

    In a large pot, bring 6 cups water to a boil over high heat. Add 2 tbsp soy sauce and 2 minced garlic cloves, stirring to combine.

  2. Step 2

    Add 8 oz fish cake sheets and 8 frozen dumplings to the pot. Return to a boil, then reduce heat to medium.

  3. Step 3

    Simmer until dumplings are cooked through and fish cakes are tender, about 10 minutes. The dumplings should float and look plump.

  4. Step 4

    Slice 2 green onions into 1-inch pieces and add to the soup. Cook for 1 more minute until fragrant.

  5. Step 5

    Serve hot, using tongs to lift out fish cakes and dumplings into bowls, then ladle broth over the top.
