Ingredients

Scale

Protein:

  • 12 frozen potstickers or dumplings
  • 6 cups chicken or vegetable broth

Vegetables:

  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms (shiitake or button)
  • 2 cups baby bok choy, chopped
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, grated

Seasonings and Garnishes:

  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Sliced green onions
  • Sesame seeds
  • Fresh cilantro

Instructions

  1. Warm sesame oil in a large pot over medium heat. Sauté diced onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger for 2-3 minutes until the aromatics release their fragrant essence and onions become translucent.
  2. Gradually pour chicken or vegetable broth into the pot, bringing the liquid to a gentle boil. Carefully introduce frozen potstickers into the simmering broth.
  3. Allow potstickers to cook for 5-7 minutes, periodically stirring to prevent them from adhering to the pot’s bottom. Ensure they are heated thoroughly and float to the surface.
  4. Incorporate sliced mushrooms and chopped baby bok choy into the bubbling soup. Reduce heat and let the ingredients simmer for 3-4 minutes, maintaining the vegetables’ crisp texture and vibrant color.
  5. Enhance the flavor profile by drizzling soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sprinkling crushed red pepper flakes. Taste and calibrate seasonings to personal preference, creating a balanced and complex broth.
  6. Transfer the steaming soup into serving bowls. Embellish with freshly sliced green onions, toasted sesame seeds, and delicate cilantro leaves. Serve immediately while piping hot for maximum enjoyment.

Notes

  • Choose quick-cooking potstickers like chicken, pork, or vegetable to maintain optimal soup texture and flavor profile.
  • Swap frozen potstickers with fresh ones for a more delicate and authentic taste experience, reducing cooking time by 2-3 minutes.
  • Customize heat levels by adjusting red pepper flakes or adding sriracha sauce for spice enthusiasts seeking extra kick.
  • Accommodate dietary restrictions by using gluten-free potstickers and tamari instead of traditional soy sauce for celiac or gluten-sensitive individuals.
