My favourite instant meal when I feel like lots of flavour but not too much fat.

12 frozen dumplings

6 cups chicken stock

2 tablespoons soy sauce

½ teaspoon hot sauce

Pinch sugar

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

2 green onions, slivered

4 shiitake mushrooms, thinly sliced

4 cups baby spinach

Salt and freshly ground pepper

Bring a large pot of water to boil over high heat. Add frozen dumplings and boil for about 6 minutes or until cooked through. Drain well.

Place stock, soy sauce, hot sauce, sugar and vinegar in a large pot over high heat and bring to boil. Add green onions, shiitake mushrooms and spinach. Reduce heat and simmer for about 2 minutes or until vegetables have softened. Add dumplings. Season with salt and pepper to taste and add more soy or hot sauce as needed. Serves 4
