Gather the ramen soup base (the seasoning packet from instant ramen is fine; use soy sauce or salt flavor if possible).

Gather the frozen dumplings (use them straight from the freezer).

Gather the bean sprouts (thin bean sprouts are best, but any kind is fine, even with roots attached).

Slice the green onion diagonally into thin strips. Cut the garlic chives into pieces about 1 1/2 inches (4 cm) long.

Combine all the ingredients marked with ◾️ in a pot, bring to a gentle boil, then add steps 2–4. Cover and cook until boiling. It's ready to serve!

Note: Ginger scallion sauce can be found at Asian grocery stores. You can substitute with grated ginger if needed.
