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 (Optional)

  • 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 1/2 cup spinach or bok choy

For Serving & Flavor

  • 23 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
  • 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 and softened. Add chicken or vegetable broth, soy sauce, and optional rice vinegar. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 5–10 minutes to blend the flavors.
  2. Cook the Potstickers and Vegetables: Carefully add frozen potstickers to the simmering broth. Cook for 5–7 minutes until fully heated through and tender. Add mushrooms or spinach during the last 2–3 minutes to wilt or soften them.
  3. Season the Soup: Taste the broth and adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, and optional chili oil or red pepper flakes to add heat. Remove the pot from heat once seasoned to preference.
  4. Serve and Garnish: Ladle the hot soup into bowls ensuring a good mix of broth, potstickers, and vegetables. Garnish with chopped green onions and a drizzle of sesame oil if desired for aroma and richness.

Notes

  • Use vegetable broth to make the soup vegetarian or vegan friendly.
  • Adjust the amount of chili oil or red pepper flakes based on your preferred spice level.
  • Fresh ginger can be substituted with ground ginger, but fresh gives a brighter flavor.
  • For a heartier version, add other vegetables like carrots or snap peas.
  • This soup reheats well; store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
