Main Ingredients
- 12 to 15 frozen potstickers (store-bought or homemade)
- 4 cups chicken broth or vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 teaspoons freshly grated ginger
- 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
- 2 to 3 green onions, chopped
- 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms (optional)
- 1/2 cup spinach or bok choy leaves (optional)
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar (optional)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon chili oil or red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
Instructions
- Heat Aromatics: Warm the sesame oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and freshly grated ginger, sautéing for about 30 seconds until fragrant and aromatic.
- Simmer the Broth: Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, preparing the flavorful base for the soup.
- Cook Potstickers: Carefully add the frozen potstickers into the simmering broth. Cook according to package instructions, usually 5 to 7 minutes, until the potstickers are fully cooked and tender.
- Add Vegetables: If using mushrooms, spinach, or bok choy, add them to the pot during the last 2 to 3 minutes of cooking to keep their texture fresh and vibrant.
- Season Broth: Stir in the soy sauce and rice vinegar if using. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Adjust the seasoning according to your preference.
- Serve and Garnish: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish generously with chopped green onions. For added heat, finish with a drizzle of chili oil or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes.

- Adjust chili oil or red pepper flakes to control the spice level.
- Add other greens or vegetables like bok choy, napa cabbage, or carrots for variety.
