Tips and Variations

VEGETERIAN:  Replace with vegetable stock and  vegetarian dumplings
GLUTEN FREE: Choose gluten-free dumplings
SWAPS and ADDITIONS:
Add rice vermicelli noodles in with the spiralised zucchini. If you don't have a spiraliser, cut the zucchini in quarters lengthways and use a peeler. 
Other veggies that we've tried are mushrooms and carrot if you'd like to switch it up.
