Instructions
 

Make the Dumpling Dough:

    - In a bowl, combine flour and boiling water. Mix until a dough forms.

      - Knead for about 5 minutes until smooth, then cover with a damp cloth and let rest for 30 minutes.

        Prepare the Filling:

          - In a mixing bowl, combine ground pork, green onions, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, salt, and pepper. Mix well.

            Assemble Dumplings:

              - Divide the rested dough into small pieces (about the size of a golf ball).

                - Roll out each piece into thin circles (about 3 inches in diameter).

                  - Place a teaspoon of filling in the center, then fold the dough over and pinch the edges to seal tightly. Repeat until all dough and filling are used.

                    Prepare the Soup:

                      - In a large pot, combine the broth, soy sauce, chili oil, rice vinegar, and miso paste (if using). Bring to a simmer over medium heat.

                        Add Vegetables:

                          - Once simmering, add the bok choy and mushrooms to the broth. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

                            Cook the Dumplings:

                              - Gently add the dumplings to the boiling broth. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until they float to the surface and are cooked through.

                                Serve:

                                  - Ladle the soup and dumplings into bowls. Garnish with fresh cilantro and sliced red chili. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
