Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over medium heat until it shimmers, about 2 minutes.

Pour in 6 cups of vegetable broth, followed by 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar, and 1 teaspoon of optional chili garlic sauce. Stir and bring to a gentle boil for about 5 minutes.

Add 3 cups of chopped baby bok choy or spinach. Simmer for an additional 2–3 minutes.
Gently add 12–16 frozen dumplings to the soup, cover, and cook for about 5–7 minutes.
