Ingredients
Scale
- 12–15 frozen potstickers (store-bought or homemade)
- 4 cups chicken broth (or vegetable broth for a vegetarian option)
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 teaspoons grated ginger
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2–3 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
- Optional add-ins:
- ½ cup sliced mushrooms
- ½ cup spinach or bok choy
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon chili oil or red pepper flakes
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- 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 chicken or vegetable broth, soy sauce, and optional rice vinegar. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 5–10 minutes to let the flavors meld. - Cook the Potstickers:
Add frozen potstickers to the simmering broth, ensuring they don’t stick together. Cook for 5–7 minutes or until heated through. - Add Vegetables:
Stir in sliced mushrooms and spinach (or bok choy) during the last 2–3 minutes of cooking. Let the residual heat soften the veggies. - Season the Soup:
Taste the broth and adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, and chili oil for a spicy kick. Drizzle with additional sesame oil for extra flavor. - Serve and Garnish:
Ladle soup into bowls, ensuring an even mix of potstickers, veggies, and broth. Garnish with chopped green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds if desired.
