- Add the soy sauce and sriracha to the simmering broth. Stir to mix in the flavors.
- Carefully add the frozen dumplings to the pot, ensuring they are evenly distributed in the broth. Stir gently.
- Continue simmering for about 5 minutes, or until the dumplings float to the top.

- Remove the pot from the heat and drizzle the sesame oil over the soup. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
