Description
A cozy and flavorful Potsticker Soup featuring mushrooms and bok choy, perfect for a comforting meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tbsp sesame oil (or neutral oil)
- 3–4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1-inch piece ginger, grated
- 6 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 2 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari)
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tsp toasted sesame oil (for flavor)
- 10–12 frozen or fresh potstickers (pork, chicken, shrimp, or veggie)
- 2 cups bok choy, roughly chopped (baby bok choy works best)
- 2 cups mushrooms, sliced (shiitake, cremini, or button)
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 1 tsp chili flakes or chili oil (optional, for heat)
- Sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a large pot, heat sesame oil over medium heat.
- Add garlic and ginger, sauté 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
- Pour in chicken or vegetable broth.
- Stir in soy sauce, rice vinegar, and toasted sesame oil.
- Bring to a simmer.
- Add mushrooms and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Gently drop in potstickers, cover, and cook according to package instructions (about 6–8 minutes if frozen, 3–4 if fresh).
- Stir in bok choy and cook for 2–3 minutes until just wilted.
- Taste broth and adjust with extra soy sauce, vinegar, or chili oil if needed.
- Ladle into bowls, top with green onions, sesame seeds, and (optional) extra chili oil.
Notes
- Add rice noodles or ramen to make it heartier.
- Swap bok choy with spinach, kale, or napa cabbage.
- Use dumplings, wontons, or gyoza instead of potstickers.
- Great for meal prep: make broth + veggies ahead, then cook potstickers fresh when ready to eat (so they don’t get soggy).
