Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 inch ginger, peeled and minced
  • 4 cups chicken broth (low sodium preferred)
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 package (approximately 1 pound) frozen potstickers (gyoza or dumplings)
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 cup chopped bok choy (or other leafy green like spinach or kale)
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced, for garnish
  • Sesame seeds, for garnish (optional)
  • Sriracha or chili garlic sauce, for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Aromatic Base: Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent and softened (5-7 minutes). Add garlic and ginger; cook for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
  2. Build the Broth: Pour in chicken broth and water. Stir in soy sauce, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes (if using). Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  3. Cook Potstickers and Vegetables: Gently add frozen potstickers to the simmering broth. Cook according to package directions (usually 5-7 minutes), until cooked through and heated. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Add carrots and cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened. Add bok choy (or other leafy green) and cook for 1-2 minutes until wilted and tender.
  4. Final Touches and Serving: Taste the soup and adjust seasoning as needed (soy sauce for saltiness, rice vinegar for acidity, or sugar for sweetness). Ladle into bowls and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds (if using). Serve immediately with sriracha or chili garlic sauce on the side, if desired.

Notes

  • Potsticker Type: Use any type of frozen potstickers (pork, chicken, vegetable, shrimp).
  • Vegetable Variations: Add mushrooms, snow peas, or bean sprouts.
  • Protein Boost: Add cooked chicken, shrimp, or tofu.

  • Vegetarian: Use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
