Hot soup to keep the cold out

A classic dish from the Shannxi province of China, beef dumplings in hot & sour soup showcase one of the region's most loved flavour combinations. With each bowl being prepared separately, the amount of chili can be adjusted to taste. Just be careful because this comforting soup is so good, it's a little addictive!

Cooking tips: For the best results, cook dumplings in batches of 20-25 dumplings at a time to avoid them sticking to the bottom of the pot.
