Instructions
  1. On square of cheesecloth, place gingerroot, star anise, and bay leaves in center. Fold up edges and secure with kitchen twine to create a flavor sachet. Set aside.
  2. In stockpot over medium heat, warm 2 Tbsp oil. Add onion, celery, and carrot; sauté until onion is soft and translucent, approximately 6 minutes. Add garlic, turmeric, and black pepper to pot; sauté for 1 minute. Stir in stock and flavor sachet and bring mixture to a simmer. Cover stockpot, reduce heat to low, and simmer gently for 10 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, in medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  4. In second medium bowl, whisk together yogurt, egg, sage, horseradish, and remaining 1 Tbsp avocado oil until well combined.
  5. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and gently fold together until just combined. Take care not to overmix or resulting dumplings will be tough. If needed, add additional 1 or 2 Tbsp yogurt for moist yet spongy dough.
  6. Using small cookie scoop or two spoons, gently drop tablespoons of dumpling dough into the lightly simmering soup. Cover pot and cook dumplings until expanded in size and fluffy in texture all the way through, approximately 8 to 10 minutes. Dumplings are delicate, so be sure to maintain stock at light simmer.
  7. Once cooked, uncover pot and gently sprinkle chicken and cabbage over dumplings. Let cook for 1 more minute. Discard flavor sachet. Divide among serving bowls and enjoy.
