Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 8 minutes, or until softened. Add the tamari, broth, garlic, ginger, carrot, dumplings, and half the scallions and stir. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 4 minutes, or until the dumplings are heated through.
Step 2

Remove from the heat and add the spinach, rice vinegar, and lime juice. Stir until the spinach wilts. Season to taste.
Step 3

Ladle into bowls and garnish with the remaining scallions and sesame seeds. Serve with more tamari and chili crisp, if desired.
