Ingredients
-
For the Soup:
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 6 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 12 frozen potstickers or dumplings
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms (shiitake or button)
- 2 cups baby bok choy, chopped
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
For Garnish:
- Sliced green onions
- Sesame seeds
- Fresh cilantro
Instructions
Step 1: Sauté Aromatics
In a large pot, heat sesame oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Sauté for 2–3 minutes until the onion softens and the mixture becomes fragrant.
Step 2: Add Broth and Potstickers
Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and bring it to a gentle boil. Carefully add the frozen potstickers to the simmering broth.
Step 3: Cook the Potstickers
Allow the potstickers to cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent them from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
Step 4: Add Mushrooms and Bok Choy
Stir in the sliced mushrooms and chopped baby bok choy. Let the soup simmer for another 3–5 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still vibrant.
Step 5: Season the Soup
Add soy sauce, rice vinegar, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using) for extra flavor. Taste and adjust the seasoning to your preference.
Step 6: Garnish and Serve
Ladle the soup into serving bowls. Garnish with sliced green onions, sesame seeds, and fresh cilantro for a fresh and flavorful finish. Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
- For a vegetarian version, use vegetable broth and veggie dumplings.
- Adjust the spice level by adding more or less crushed red pepper flakes.
- Feel free to add other veggies like spinach or snap peas for extra texture and color.
- This soup is best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
