Description
A comforting, flavorful soup featuring tender potstickers simmered in a fragrant broth with garlic, ginger, mushrooms, and fresh greens. Perfect for a quick weeknight dinner that feels like takeout at home.
Ingredients
2 tablespoons vegetable 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
1 teaspoon sesame oil
16 frozen potstickers (pork, chicken, or veggie)
2 cups sliced mushrooms
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 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.
For a lighter version, increase greens and reduce potstickers.
Adjust salt and vinegar balance depending on broth base.
For meal prep, make the broth ahead and add potstickers when reheating.
