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.
    • Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and bring to a gentle simmer.
  2. Add the Potstickers and Vegetables:
    • Carefully add the frozen potstickers to the simmering broth and cook according to package instructions (usually 5-7 minutes).
    • If using mushrooms, spinach, or bok choy, add them in the last 2-3 minutes of cooking.
  3. Season and Serve:
    • Stir in soy sauce, rice vinegar (if using), and a pinch of salt and pepper.
    • Taste the broth and adjust the seasoning as needed.
    • Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped green onions.
    • For a spicy kick, drizzle with chili oil or sprinkle red pepper flakes on top

Notes

  • Use high-quality broth for the best flavor.
  • Avoid overcooking potstickers—they should be tender but not falling apart.
  • Add leafy greens at the end to keep them fresh and vibrant.
  • Adjust soy sauce, vinegar, and spices to match your taste preference.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
  • For a heartier meal, add cooked shredded chicken, tofu, or noodles.
