Ingredients
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 fresh ginger
2 cloves garlic, minced
2–3 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
½ cup mushrooms, sliced (optional)
½ cup spinach or bok choy (optional)
1 tablespoon rice vinegar (optional)
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 teaspoon chili oil or red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
1. In a large pot, heat sesame oil over medium heat.
2. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
3. Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and bring to a gentle simmer.
4. Carefully add the frozen potstickers to the simmering broth. Let them cook according to the package instructions (usually 5–7 minutes).
5. If using mushrooms, spinach, or bok choy, add them in the last 2–3 minutes of cooking.
6. Stir in the soy sauce, rice vinegar (if using), and a pinch of salt and pepper.
7. Taste the broth and adjust the seasoning as needed.
8. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped green onions.
9. If you like a spicy kick, drizzle some chili oil or sprinkle red pepper flakes on top.
Notes
Use high-quality broth for the best flavor. Don’t overcook the potstickers—they should be tender but intact. Add leafy greens like spinach or bok choy toward the end of cooking to maintain their freshness. Feel free to customize the seasoning levels to match your taste.
