Comforting Potsticker Soup: A Flavorful Asian-Inspired Delight
Ingredients
- 12–15 frozen potstickers
- 4 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 teaspoon grated ginger
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2–3 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
- 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms (optional)
- 1/2 cup spinach or bok choy (optional)
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon chili oil or red pepper flakes (optional, for spice)
Instructions
1. In a large pot, combine the chicken or vegetable broth, soy sauce, sesame oil, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat.
2. Carefully add the frozen potstickers to the simmering broth. Cook according to the package instructions, typically 5–7 minutes, until the potstickers are fully cooked through.
3. Stir in the sliced mushrooms and spinach or bok choy, if using, and let them cook for an additional 2–3 minutes until tender.
4. If desired, add the rice vinegar to the soup and season with salt, pepper, and a touch of chili oil or red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
5. Ladle the steaming Potsticker Soup into bowls and garnish with the chopped green onions. Serve the soup warm and savor the comforting flavors.
Notes
Customize your Potsticker Soup by swapping chicken broth for vegetable broth for a vegetarian option. You can also add julienned carrots, sliced cabbage, or diced bell peppers for more veggies. For added protein, consider incorporating cooked ground pork, shredded chicken, or tofu. Adjust the spice level by varying the amount of chili oil or red pepper flakes.
