Ingredients

Scale

Potstickers

  • 8–12 potstickers (store-bought or homemade, meat-filled or vegetarian)

Broth

  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil

Vegetables

  • 1 cup napa cabbage or bok choy, chopped
  • 1 medium carrot, thinly sliced
  • 2 scallions, chopped
  • (Optional) extra greens like spinach, kale, or snow peas

Seasonings and Garnishes

  • Optional chili flakes or sriracha, to taste
  • Fresh lime juice for serving (optional)
  • Chopped cilantro and toasted sesame seeds for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the broth: In a large pot, bring chicken or vegetable broth to a gentle simmer. Add minced garlic and freshly grated ginger to infuse aromatic warmth into the broth, simmering gently to avoid bitterness.
  2. Add vegetables: Toss in thinly sliced carrots and chopped napa cabbage or bok choy. Cook for a few minutes until vegetables are tender but still crisp to add texture contrast to your soup.
  3. Cook the potstickers: Gently add frozen or fresh potstickers to the simmering broth. Cook according to package instructions if frozen, usually 5 to 7 minutes, until potstickers float and are fully cooked through.
  4. Season the soup: Stir in soy sauce and drizzle with toasted sesame oil. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more soy sauce for saltiness or a pinch of sugar to balance flavors.
  5. Garnish and serve: Turn off heat and sprinkle chopped scallions over the soup. For extra brightness, optionally squeeze fresh lime juice or sprinkle red chili flakes if you prefer heat. Garnish with chopped cilantro and toasted sesame seeds if desired.

Notes

  • Choose good-quality potstickers, whether homemade or store-bought, for best flavor and texture.
  • Avoid overcooking vegetables to maintain a pleasant crisp contrast to the tender potstickers.
  • Simmer garlic and ginger gently in broth to capture their best flavors without bitterness.
  • Use fresh herbs like scallions and a touch of sesame oil to elevate aroma and taste.
  • Adjust soy sauce seasoning last as saltiness can vary between brands.
  • Store leftover soup and potstickers separately to keep potstickers from becoming soggy.
  • This soup can be made vegetarian or gluten-free with adjustments mentioned in variations.
