Potstickers
- Frozen or fresh potstickers (quantity as desired, typically 12-16 pieces)
Broth & Aromatics
- 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
Vegetables
- 1/2 cup thinly sliced carrots (optional)
- 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms (optional)
- 1–2 cups baby spinach or chopped bok choy
- 2 green onions, chopped
- Prepare the Broth: Heat chicken or vegetable broth in a large pot over medium heat. Add minced garlic and freshly grated ginger, simmer gently for a few minutes to infuse the broth with fragrant warmth.
- Cook the Potstickers: Bring the broth to a gentle boil, carefully add frozen or fresh potstickers. Simmer for 5–7 minutes or until potstickers are fully cooked and tender, floating to the surface.
- Add Vegetables and Seasonings: Stir in thinly sliced carrots, mushrooms, and leafy greens like spinach or bok choy. Add soy sauce and a light drizzle of sesame oil to enhance flavor. Cook for another 2–3 minutes until vegetables are tender yet crisp.
- Final Touch and Serve: Remove the soup from heat and sprinkle with chopped green onions. Adjust seasoning with salt or soy sauce if needed. Ladle hot potsticker soup into bowls and enjoy immediately.
