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
- 1/2 cup water
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
Garnishes
- Parmesan cheese, grated (to taste)
- Chopped chives or sage, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Heat butter and 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 or until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
- Prepare the sauce: Add the heavy cream, water, and gochujang to the pot. Stir the mixture until everything is well combined, then bring the sauce to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
- Cook the dumplings: Gently add the frozen soup dumplings to the simmering sauce, ensuring there is some space between each dumpling for even cooking. Cover the pot with a lid and cook for about 12 minutes, or until the dumplings are thoroughly cooked through and heated.
- Finish and garnish: Remove the lid, turn off the heat, and sprinkle freshly grated parmesan cheese over the dumplings. Garnish with chopped sage or chives if desired. Serve the dish hot and enjoy the creamy, spicy flavors.
Notes
- You can adjust the amount of gochujang to match your preferred spice level.
- Use fresh garlic for the best flavor impact in the sauce.
- The cooking time for dumplings may vary depending on their size and brand; ensure they are fully cooked before serving.
- For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half, though this may reduce creaminess.
- Fresh herbs like sage or chives add a nice aroma and garnish but are optional.
