Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add a small amount of oil (if not using broth with fat) and sauté the minced garlic and ginger for 1 minute until fragrant.

Add the torn kaffir lime leaves and red Tom Yum paste to the pot. Stir constantly for 30 seconds to bloom the paste and combine with the aromatics.

Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring to fully dissolve the Tom Yum paste.

Add the sliced white onion, frozen pork dumplings, and quartered button mushrooms to the simmering broth. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the dumplings are mostly cooked through.

Stir in the roughly chopped bok choy, halved cherry tomatoes, and small white fish balls. Continue to simmer for another 3-5 minutes, or until the bok choy is tender-crisp and the fish balls are heated through.

Ladle the hot soup into individual bowls. Garnish generously with fresh chopped cilantro and a drizzle of chili oil or chili crisp, as desired. Serve immediately.
