Ingredients:
2 quarts water
1 single-serving package Wakame seaweed soup mix
2 cloves garlic, crushed
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
2 tablespoons soy sauce
8 oz (one bundle) of Japanese Soba (buckwheat) noodles
16 frozen vegetarian dumplings (Assi brand Korean chive dumplings)
Boil the water and add the Wakame soup mix, the garlic, the sesame seeds, and the soy sauce.
