Add cabbage, mushrooms, and carrots and boil, uncovered, stirring occasionally, 3 minutes, then add peas and cook 2 minutes. Stir in scallions, sesame oil, salt, and pepper and boil until all vegetables are tender, about 1 minute.
• Divide dumplings among 4 soup bowls with a slotted spoon. Ladle soup over dumplings.

Steps:

Simmer until the veggies are tender and the dumplings are cooked, about 10 minutes. Garnish with the scallion greens.
