Method

1. Step 1 — Prep ingredients
   Pick the coriander leaves and finely chop the stems. Crush or finely chop the garlic. Thinly slice the spring onion on an angle. Thinly slice the chilli, removing the seeds if less heat is desired. Crumble 3 stock cubes* into a heatproof jug, add 750ml (3 cups) boiling water and stir to dissolve.
2. Step 2 — Fry aromatics
   Heat 1 tbs oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the coriander stems, garlic, half the spring onion and half the chilli (long chillies are typically mild, but if you prefer zero heat, omit it and serve at the table for those who like a chilli-kick). Cook, stirring, for 2 mins or until fragrant.
3. Step 3 — Add stock
   Add the stock, 1 tbs soy sauce and 1 tsp sugar to the aromatics. Scrunch the lime leaves to release the flavour and add to the pan. Season with pepper and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for 5 mins to develop the flavour.
4. Step 4 — Prep veggies and chicken
   ADD CHICKEN BREAST OPTION Meanwhile, halve the carrot lengthwise and thinly slice. Coarsely chop the pak choy, keeping the stems and leaves separate. Thinly slice the chicken into strips.
5. Step 5 — Cook dumplings
   Increase the heat to medium. Add the carrot to the soup and cook for 2 mins. Add the pak choy stems and dumplings and cook for a further 3 mins.
6. Step 6 — Get ready to serve
   Stir chicken and pak choy leaves into the soup (don't allow soup to boil or the chicken will dry out) and cook for 2-3 mins until chicken is just cooked through and dumplings are heated through. Remove lime leaves (they're too tough to eat). Divide dumplings and soup among bowls. Scatter over coriander leaves, remaining spring onion and remaining chilli to serve.
