Make a Refreshing Chilled Dumpling Soup for a Cooling Summer Meal!
Enjoy this refreshing chilled dumpling soup on a hot day! It’s a great option for a light meal. Perfectly cooling and satisfying!
Main Ingredients
- 7 dumplings (frozen)
- A small amount of cucumber
- 1 egg
- 2 leaves of napa cabbage kimchi
- 1 packet of cold noodle soup broth
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the toppings for your chilled dumpling soup. Wash the cucumber thoroughly, remove the seeds, and julienne it thinly. For the kimchi, remove excess filling and chop it finely. Thinly slice the egg into strips after making an omelet. Set all prepared toppings aside.
Step 2
Place the dumplings on a steaming rack once the steamer is hot. Steam the dumplings for approximately 8 minutes, ensuring they don’t burst. It’s important to cook them thoroughly until warm through.
Step 3
The key to this refreshing soup is the chilled broth. For convenience, use a store-bought cold noodle soup broth. For an extra chill, freeze the broth beforehand until it’s partially frozen, creating a delightful slushy consistency.
Step 4
Arrange the steamed dumplings, after they’ve cooled slightly, attractively in a serving bowl. Avoid placing them while too hot, as this can warm up the broth. Allowing them to cool down a bit is recommended.
Step 5
Top the dumplings with the julienned cucumber, chopped kimchi, and egg strips. For an extra touch of flavor and visual appeal, sprinkle with crumbled seaweed (gim) and sesame seeds. Pour the prepared chilled broth over the dumplings and toppings to complete your delicious Naengmanduguk! Isn’t that easy?
