Instructions
- Simmer the broth: In a large pot, bring the chicken broth to a simmer over medium heat, creating the flavorful base of the soup.
- Prepare miso mixture: In a small bowl, whisk together the miso paste with a ladle of the hot broth until it becomes smooth and free of lumps.

Notes
- Use fresh or frozen gyoza dumplings depending on availability.
- Do not boil the miso paste directly as it can lose flavor; always dissolve in hot broth off the boil.
- Adjust the amount of sesame oil and soy sauce according to taste and dietary preference.
- This soup can be customized by adding vegetables like mushrooms or spinach for extra nutrition.
- To make it vegetarian, substitute chicken broth with vegetable broth and use vegetable-based dumplings.
