- Tear the store-bought dumpling wrappers one at a time, breaking them into bite-sized pieces, and add them to the pot without clumping.

Cooking tips 💡
- When adding dumpling wrappers, avoid clumping—tear each piece individually and gently unfold it into the pot to prevent them from hardening like rice cakes.
- Adjust the amount of perilla seed powder based on your preferred thickness and richness of the broth.
