Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 small onion, diced
- 6 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar

- 2 cups baby bok choy or spinach, chopped
- 3 green onions, sliced thin
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Optional garnish: chili crisp, sesame seeds, extra scallions
Instructions
-
Heat vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Sauté garlic, ginger, and onion until fragrant and golden.

Add mushrooms and cook until softened. Pour in broth, soy sauce, and rice vinegar. Simmer for 10 minutes.

Drop frozen potstickers directly into simmering broth. Cook 5–7 minutes until they float and look translucent.

Stir in bok choy or spinach at the end in order to keep them vibrant.

Finish with sesame oil, scallions, and optional garnishes before serving hot.
Notes
- Add potstickers at the end to prevent them from breaking apart.
