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, and 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, creating the base for your soup.
  3. Add Potstickers and Vegetables: Carefully add the frozen potstickers into the simmering broth. Cook them according to package instructions, usually about 5-7 minutes. If you’re using mushrooms, spinach, or bok choy, add these during the last 2-3 minutes of cooking so they stay fresh and tender.
  4. Season the Soup: Stir in soy sauce, rice vinegar (if using), and salt and pepper to taste. Adjust seasoning by tasting the broth to ensure it’s balanced and flavorful.
  5. Serve and Garnish: Ladle the hot soup into bowls, garnish with chopped green onions, and for an optional spicy kick, drizzle chili oil or sprinkle red pepper flakes on top before serving.

Notes

  • For a vegetarian version, use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth and ensure potstickers are vegetarian-friendly.
  • Adjust the amount of garlic and ginger to suit your taste preference for stronger or milder flavors.
  • The veggies like mushrooms and spinach/bok choy are optional but add nutrition and color to the soup.
  • Chili oil or red pepper flakes add a spicy element but can be omitted for a milder soup.
  • Cooking potstickers directly in the broth saves time and infuses the soup with their flavor.
