  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
