Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium saucepan, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat. Allow the butter to foam and bubble slightly, indicating it’s hot and ready.
  2. Add 2 cloves of minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant and light golden brown.
  3. Pour in 1 cup of heavy cream and ½ cup of water, followed by 2 tablespoons of gochujang. Stir until fully incorporated and bring to a gentle simmer.
  4. Carefully add your frozen soup dumplings to the simmering sauce, cover the pot, and allow the dumplings to steam for about 12 minutes.
  5. Once cooked, remove the lid and turn off the heat. Generously sprinkle freshly grated parmesan cheese over the dumplings.
  6. Just before serving, garnish with freshly chopped sage or chives for a pop of color and freshness.
