Instructions

  1. Prepare the Broth:
    • Heat sesame oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing for 1 minute until fragrant.

    • Add the frozen potstickers to the simmering broth and cook for 5–7 minutes, or until heated through.
    • If using, stir in mushrooms, spinach, or bok choy during the last 2–3 minutes of cooking.
  3. Season the Soup:
    • Taste the broth and adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, and optional chili oil or red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
  4. Serve and Garnish:
    • Ladle the soup into bowls, ensuring an even mix of broth, potstickers, and vegetables.
    • Garnish with chopped green onions and a drizzle of sesame oil for extra flavor.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor: Add tamari or fish sauce to the broth.
  • Customize it: Toss in your favorite vegetables (like carrots or bell peppers) or cooked noodles for a heartier meal.
  • Make it vegan: Use vegetable broth and vegan potstickers.
  • Save time: Use pre-minced garlic and ginger for quicker prep.
