Instructions:

Add the sesame oil, garlic, ginger, white parts of the green onions to a large skillet with sides or a large soup pot. Saute these ingredients over medium heat for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Pour the chicken stock into the skillet, add the dumplings, white pepper and soy sauce. taste and add more soy sauce and pepper if desired. 

Heat all ingredients over medium low heat for about 5 minutes.

Ladle soup into bowls and garnish with a drizzle of the habanero infused olive oil, top with cilantro and green parts of green onions. 

If you don't want to use dumplings you can alternatively substitute the chicken broth and the dumplings with 2 packs of Mrs Grass soup prepared in 6 cups of water. Follow package instructions.
