Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1012 frozen pork, chicken, or vegetable potstickers
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 green onions, chopped, for garnish
  • 2 cups baby spinach or chopped bok choy
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Broth: Warm the chicken or vegetable broth in a large pot over medium heat. Add minced garlic and grated ginger to infuse the broth with aromatic flavors. Let it simmer gently to develop the full depth of spices.
  2. Cook the Potstickers: Add frozen potstickers directly to the simmering broth. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and cook for 6-8 minutes until the potstickers float and are heated through.
  3. Add the Vegetables: Toss in the baby spinach or chopped bok choy once the potstickers are nearly done. Let the vegetables wilt for 2-3 minutes to maintain freshness and texture.
  4. Season and Finish: Stir in soy sauce to taste and drizzle sesame oil for a nutty aroma. Adjust seasoning if necessary by adding salt or more soy sauce. Remove from heat and combine well before serving.

Notes

  • Use frozen potstickers directly; no need to thaw to save time and retain texture.
  • Keep broth at a gentle simmer to preserve potsticker tenderness and clear flavors.
  • Fresh ginger and garlic provide better flavor than dried or powdered alternatives.
  • If the broth tastes too salty, add water to adjust concentration.
  • Optional fresh herbs like cilantro or Thai basil add extra flavor at serving.
  • For spicier soup, add chili flakes, sliced fresh chili peppers, or chili oil.
  • To make it vegetarian or vegan, use vegetable broth and vegetable-stuffed potstickers.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Freeze broth and potstickers separately for best results to avoid sogginess.
  • Reheat gently over medium-low heat to maintain texture and flavor.
