Directions

Increase the heat to a gentle bubble and pop in the dumplings. Cover and cook for 5-6 minutes or until they are floating. Add the noodles and choi sum leaves. Cover and cook for 2-3 minutes until they have separated.

To serve, divide the noodles, dumplings and soup between two bowls. Top with the eggs, coriander, black sesame seeds and chilli oil, and get slurping
