Ingredients
12 frozen or homemade potstickers (about 1 lb)
5 cups chicken or vegetable broth
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp sesame oil
3 green onions, chopped
2 medium carrots, thinly sliced
2 cups baby bok choy or spinach
1 cup mushrooms, sliced
½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Heat sesame oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add garlic and ginger. Sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
Pour in broth, soy sauce, and optional red pepper flakes. Bring to a gentle boil.
Add carrots, mushrooms, and bok choy/spinach. Simmer for 5–7 minutes, until tender but crisp.
Gently add potstickers. Simmer for 5 minutes, until they float and are cooked through.
Remove from heat, garnish with green onions, and serve hot.
Notes
Do not overcook dumplings—they’ll fall apart if simmered too long.
Swap in other veggies like bell peppers, zucchini, or snow peas.
Make it vegetarian with veggie broth and vegetarian potstickers.
Add spice with chili oil or sriracha at serving.
For best texture, store dumplings separately from broth when saving leftovers.
