Main Ingredients
- 10–12 frozen potstickers (chicken, pork, or vegetable)
- 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced or grated
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 3 green onions, chopped
- 1 cup baby spinach or 1 cup shredded napa cabbage
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
Instructions
- Prepare the Broth: In a large pot, combine 4 cups of chicken or vegetable broth with minced garlic and freshly grated ginger. Bring it to a gentle boil to infuse the broth with fragrant, warming flavors that set the base for your soup.
- Cook the Potstickers: Once the broth is boiling, carefully add the frozen potstickers. Let them cook for about 5 to 7 minutes until tender and heated through, allowing subtle flavors to release into the broth.
- Add Vegetables: Incorporate baby spinach or shredded napa cabbage along with chopped green onions. These ingredients add freshness, vibrant color, and a delicate crunch that complements the dumplings beautifully.
- Season and Finish: Pour in soy sauce and drizzle sesame oil over the soup. Adjust seasoning with salt or additional soy sauce if needed. Give everything a gentle stir before serving hot.
Notes
- Use Quality Broth: Choose low-sodium or homemade broth to elevate flavor.
- Don’t Overcrowd the Pot: Give potstickers room to cook evenly without sticking.
- Fresh Ginger Is Key: Grated fresh ginger offers a brighter taste than powdered.
- Watch the Salt: Soy sauce can be salty, so season gradually and taste often.
- Add Greens Last: Stir in vegetables just before serving to keep them crisp and vibrant.
