Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 12–15 frozen potstickers (store-bought or homemade)
  • 4 cups chicken broth or vegetable broth for vegetarian option
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 tsp grated ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2–3 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
  • 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms (optional)
  • 1/2 cup spinach or bok choy (optional)
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tsp chili oil or red pepper flakes (optional, for spice)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Broth: Heat sesame oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, releasing their aromatic flavors into the oil.
  2. Add Broth and Simmer: Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and bring it to a gentle simmer, setting the foundation of the soup with rich, savory notes.
  3. Add Potstickers: Carefully add the frozen potstickers into the simmering broth, cooking them according to package instructions, usually for 5-7 minutes, until they are tender and heated through.
  4. Add Vegetables: If using mushrooms, spinach, or bok choy, add them during the last 2-3 minutes of cooking so they soften without losing their texture and nutrients.
  5. Season the Soup: Stir in the soy sauce and rice vinegar if using, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust the seasoning by tasting to ensure a balanced flavor.
  6. Serve and Garnish: Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with freshly chopped green onions, and if desired, drizzle with chili oil or sprinkle red pepper flakes on top for a spicy kick.

Notes

  • Using vegetable broth makes this recipe vegetarian-friendly.
  • Potstickers can be store-bought for convenience or homemade for a fresh taste.
  • Adjust the cooking time of potstickers depending on the brand or thickness.
  • Add more vegetables like carrots or snap peas for added nutrition.
  • For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free soy sauce and potstickers.
  • Chili oil can be omitted or reduced if you prefer a milder soup.
