1. To make the chicken dumplings, place the chicken, ginger, miso, egg, and scallions in the work bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade. Pulse until the mixture becomes a coarse paste. Transfer to a bowl and form into a 1-inch-thick patty, which will make the scooping simpler and faster. Set aside.
2. Prepare the broth by combining the chicken stock, sake, and salt in a bowl; reserve.
3. Place the cabbage and garlic in the bottom of a hot pot. Pour in the broth. Cover the hot pot and bring it to a boil over high heat. Uncover the pot, and decrease the heat to medium so the liquid simmers.
4. Add the tofu,
