Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1215 frozen potstickers (store-bought or homemade)
  • 4 cups chicken broth (or vegetable broth for vegetarian option)
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 teaspoons grated ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Vegetables and Garnishes

  • 23 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
  • 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms (optional)
  • 1/2 cup spinach or bok choy (optional)

Optional Seasonings

  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon chili oil or red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Broth: Heat sesame oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth, soy sauce, and optional rice vinegar. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for 5 to 10 minutes to develop flavor.
  2. Cook the Potstickers and Vegetables: Add the frozen potstickers to the simmering broth. Cook them for 5 to 7 minutes until they are heated through and tender. During the last few minutes of cooking, stir in the sliced mushrooms or spinach/bok choy if using to soften the vegetables.
  3. Season the Soup: Taste the broth and adjust the seasoning as needed with salt, pepper, and optionally add chili oil or red pepper flakes for some heat. Remove the pot from the heat once fully seasoned.
  4. Serve and Garnish: Ladle the soup into bowls, making sure each serving has a good mix of broth, potstickers, and vegetables. Garnish with chopped green onions and a small drizzle of sesame oil to enhance the aroma and flavor.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, consider adding tamari or fish sauce to the broth.
  • Customize the soup by adding your favorite vegetables or cooked noodles to make it heartier.
  • Use vegetable broth and vegan potstickers to make this recipe vegan-friendly.
