Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil (or vegetable oil)
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 6 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 8 oz (225g) mushrooms, sliced (shiitake or button)
  • 1 lb (450g) frozen potstickers (vegetarian or meat-filled)
  • 2 heads baby bok choy, chopped
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)
  • Chili oil or Sriracha (optional, for serving)

Instructions

  1. Sauté the Aromatics:
    • Heat sesame oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté for 2–3 minutes until softened. Add the garlic and ginger, and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  2. Prepare the Broth:
    • Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth. Add soy sauce and rice vinegar. Bring the broth to a gentle boil.
  3. Cook the Mushrooms:
    • Add the sliced mushrooms to the pot and simmer for 5 minutes until they soften.
  4. Add the Potstickers:
    • Carefully place the frozen potstickers into the simmering broth. Cook according to package instructions, usually 5–7 minutes, until tender and heated through.
  5. Add the Bok Choy:
    • Stir in the chopped bok choy and let it cook for 2–3 minutes until wilted but still vibrant.
  6. Finish and Serve:
    • Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with more soy sauce or salt if needed. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with green onions, cilantro, and a drizzle of chili oil or Sriracha for heat.

 


Notes

  • Use homemade or fresh potstickers for an extra special touch.
  • For added protein, stir in cooked shredded chicken or tofu.
  • This soup is best served fresh to keep the potstickers from becoming too soft.
