Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 6 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon chili paste (optional for spice)
  • 1 pound frozen potstickers or dumplings
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 1 cup baby spinach
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat the sesame oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  2. Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and bring it to a boil.
  3. Add the soy sauce, rice vinegar, and chili paste (if using) to the broth, stirring well to combine.
  4. Reduce the heat to a simmer and add the frozen potstickers or dumplings to the broth. Let them cook for 4-6 minutes until they float to the surface, stirring gently to prevent sticking.
  5. Add the sliced mushrooms to the pot and continue to simmer for 2 minutes.
  6. Stir in the baby spinach and allow it to wilt into the soup, about 1 minute.
  7. Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste. Ladle into bowls, ensuring each serving has several potstickers. Garnish with sliced green onions and fresh cilantro before serving.

Notes

  • Use toasted sesame oil for deeper flavor. Regular sesame oil works but has a milder taste.
  • Don’t clump potstickers together when adding to soup. Drop them in one by one to prevent sticking.
  • For vegetarian version, use vegetable broth and vegetarian potstickers.
  • Leftovers store well for 3-4 days. Flavor improves the next day as potstickers absorb more broth.
  • Can substitute fresh potstickers, which cook in 3-4 minutes instead of 4-6 minutes.
