Ingredients
  

  • 1 pack of frozen potstickers or homemade, about 12-15 pieces
  • 6 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 teaspoons ginger minced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup bok choy or spinach optional, for extra flavor and nutrition
  • 1/2 cup mushrooms optional, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes for a hint of spice, optional
  • 2 green onions sliced for garnish
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sugar optional, to balance out the acidity
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Equipment

  • Large Soup Pot
  • Slotted Spoon
  • Measuring spoons and cups
  • Cutting Board and Knife
  • Soup Ladle
  • Large skillet

Method
 

  1. Heat the Soup Pot: In a large soup pot, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add the minced ginger and garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  2. Add the Broth: Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and bring to a gentle boil. Stir in the soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sugar. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes so the flavors can meld.
  3. Add the Vegetables: Add the chopped bok choy (or spinach) and mushrooms, if using. Let them cook in the broth for about 2-3 minutes until softened.
  4. Cook the Potstickers: Add the frozen potstickers directly into the broth. Stir gently to ensure they don’t stick together. Let them cook in the simmering broth for 8-10 minutes, or until they float to the surface, indicating they are fully cooked.
  5. Final Seasoning: Taste the broth and adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, or extra soy sauce if needed. Add the red pepper flakes for some heat if desired.
  6. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls, making sure each serving gets a good number of potstickers and vegetables. Garnish with fresh green onions and serve immediately.
