Clean the salmon heads and cut off the tail.

2

Boil the fish heads in a pot for 15 minutes to extract flavor.

5

Knead the dough until it's not too hard or too soft, then shape into small dumplings.

6

Add the fish heads back into the pot to flavor the broth without the bones.

7

Add in the chopped carrots, yam, pumpkin, and potatoes to the pot.

Let the soup boil for about 10 minutes before adding the spring onion and thyme.
