The “dumplings” (molo) in this soup are wontons filled with seasoned pork and egg. I like the dish because it’s Filipino-Chinese rolled into one, like my origin. I was born and raised in the Philippines with a pure Chinese father and a half Filipino, half Chinese mother.

I eat this soup summer or winter with bread. My tip is to sprinkle white pepper while it’s hot before eating to add more flavor and spiciness.

You can use any vegetables except potatoes, which don’t freeze well. I have made suggestions for the proportions of the vegetables, but what you choose is entirely up to you. Parsnips are sweet, and leeks and kohlrabi will add rich flavor. If you can’t get fresh turmeric it’s okay – the carrots will provide a warm yellow color – but do NOT use turmeric powder. Your soups will then taste like curry. Trust me on this, unless you don’t care.

I make lots of Romanian ciorba, hence the usage of lovage and dill in my vegetable bouillon.

For a fast soup on cold evenings, all you need to do is pop one or two vegetable bouillon squares into the pot with water or stock, and add meatballs, dumplings or potatoes. If you feel like it, you can add extra vegetables. But when the temperature is minus 20 degrees Celsius (minus 4°F) I don’t want to muck around in the kitchen, I want something easy, hearty and comforting.

Your choice of pan is crucial to the success of searing the cod. Weight and heft are important, and if you have a reliable cast iron or stainless steel sauté pan, by all means use it, but most people need to use a non-stick pan to keep the filet intact.
