This Potsticker Soup is a flavorful, ginger-garlic broth base combined with tender dumplings and crisp vegetables. It’s an ideal, quick meal, ready in 30 minutes.
8 cups low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
1 tbsp rice vinegar
2 tsp freshly grated ginger
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
1/2 tsp white pepper
1/4 cup soy sauce or tamari
1 pound frozen potstickers (16–24 count)
1 small head of bok choy, chopped
1 cup sliced shiitake mushrooms
1 large carrot, thinly sliced into matchsticks
1/4 cup chopped scallions (for garnish)
1. In a large stockpot, heat sesame oil over medium heat. Sauté minced ginger and garlic for about sixty seconds until fragrant.
2. Pour in broth, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and white pepper. Bring to a strong simmer.
3. Add carrot matchsticks and shiitake mushrooms. Simmer for three to four minutes to soften slightly.
4. Gently drop the frozen potstickers into the boiling broth. Cook for five to seven minutes, or until they float and are heated through.
5. Stir in the chopped bok choy. Cook for sixty to ninety seconds until the leaves are wilted.
6. Taste the broth and adjust seasonings if needed. Ladle into bowls and garnish generously with chopped scallions.
Always use low-sodium broth to control saltiness.
Do not overcrowd the pot when cooking the dumplings; this lowers the temperature.
Leftovers are best stored with the potstickers and broth separated to prevent mushy wrappers.
