Pork Shumai Soup image

A simple lazy day soup. I broke the instructions into steps but you can pretty much dump everything into the pot from the beginning once the water starts to boil (except for the veggies, unless you don't mind them getting overcooked). I think next time I may add some konyaku (not the noodle type) and maybe garnish with some sliced pink and white fishcake and chopped green onion. I normally eat this as a one dish meal but it may also be eaten as a side dish. It's been suggested by a friend to forget the pepper and chilli flakes and just toss in some kimchee to flavor :)
