Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • Fresh or frozen pork or vegetable potstickers, about 12-16 pieces
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth (homemade or low-sodium store-bought)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 cup baby spinach or chopped bok choy
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (for sautéing aromatics)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Aromatics: Heat a splash of vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for about 1 minute until fragrant to build the flavorful base of the broth.
  2. Add the Broth and Soy Sauce: Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and stir in the soy sauce. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, allowing the flavors to meld.
  3. Cook the Potstickers: Carefully add the potstickers to the simmering broth. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or according to package or homemade instructions, until the potstickers float and are fully cooked through.
  4. Add Greens: In the final minute of cooking, add the baby spinach or bok choy. Let the greens wilt gently in the hot broth, preserving their vibrant color and fresh taste.
  5. Finish with Sesame Oil and Green Onions: Turn off the heat and drizzle the toasted sesame oil over the soup. Garnish with sliced green onions before serving for added freshness and aroma.

Notes

  • Use fresh potstickers if possible for better texture, but frozen work well in a pinch.
  • Cook potstickers in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding and sticking.
  • Add soy sauce gradually to control saltiness.
  • Keep broth at a gentle simmer to prevent potstickers from breaking apart.
  • Customize the broth by adding star anise or cinnamon stick for a subtle aromatic twist.
