Ingredients

Scale

Potstickers

  • 12–16 store-bought or homemade potstickers (fresh or frozen)

Broth and Aromatics

  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil

Vegetables and Garnishes

  • 3 green onions, chopped
  • 2 cups baby spinach or bok choy, chopped
  • Optional garnishes: toasted sesame seeds, sliced chili oil or fresh chili peppers

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Broth: Heat the chicken or vegetable broth in a large pot over medium heat. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, allowing the aromatics to infuse the broth for about 5 minutes before bringing it to a simmer.
  2. Cook the Potstickers: Add frozen or fresh potstickers directly into the simmering broth. Let them cook for about 6-8 minutes or according to package instructions, until they float and are cooked through.
  3. Add Vegetables: Add the chopped green onions and your choice of greens, such as baby spinach or bok choy. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the greens are just wilted but still vibrant and bright.
  4. Season the Soup: Stir in soy sauce, drizzle sesame oil, and adjust salt or pepper to taste. Give the soup a quick taste test to balance the flavors.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Ladle the soup into bowls, making sure each serving has a good portion of potstickers, broth, and vegetables. Garnish with optional toppings like toasted sesame seeds or sliced chili oil and serve hot for maximum comfort.

Notes

  • Use quality broth for the best flavor; fresh or high-quality store-bought stock works well.
  • Cook potstickers in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding and ensure even cooking.
  • Fresh garlic and ginger provide better brightness compared to powders.
  • Add greens at the end to preserve their color and texture.
  • Garnish with green onions, toasted sesame seeds, or chili oil to enhance flavor and presentation.
