  2. If using mushrooms, spinach, or bok choy, add them in the last 2-3 minutes of cooking.
Season and Serve:

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.
