'1 (15- to 16-oz) package frozen Asian dumplings (also called pot stickers; about 20 to 24)', '5 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth (40 fl oz)', '3 cups thinly sliced Napa cabbage (from 1 head)', '2 cups sliced shiitake mushroom caps', '1 cup shredded or matchstick (1/8-inch-thick) carrots (from a 10-oz bag)', '1/2 cup frozen peas', '1/2 cup chopped scallions', '1 teaspoon Asian sesame oil', '1/2 teaspoon salt', '1/8 teaspoon black pepper'
Cook dumplings in a 6- to 8-quart pot of boiling unsalted water, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until cooked through, 5 to 8 minutes. (Cut into a dumpling to check filling.) Remove pot from heat and keep dumplings warm in hot water. While dumplings cook, bring chicken broth to a boil in a 4- to 6-quart heavy pot. Add cabbage, mushrooms, and carrots and boil, uncovered, stirring occasionally, 3 minutes, then add peas and cook 2 minutes. Stir in scallions, sesame oil, salt, and pepper and boil until all vegetables are tender, about 1 minute. Divide dumplings among 4 soup bowls with a slotted spoon. Ladle soup over dumplings.
