Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Combine the broth, ginger, soy sauce, wine, vinegar, sesame oil, sugar, and salt in a soup pot and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat so the broth simmers gently and releases a light ginger aroma, about 10-15 minutes.
  2. Add the carrots and cook until tender, 5 minutes. Just before serving, add the dumplings, cook for 3 minutes, then add the green onions and spinach and cook until wilted, about 1 minute. Divide into warm bowls and serve. Serve with chili sauce, if desired.
