Ingredients

  • 8 oz fish cake sheets
  • 8 pieces frozen dumplings
  • 2 stalks green onions
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 6 cups water

Instructions

    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. 2

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