Description
A cozy and flavorful soup filled with tender potstickers, earthy mushrooms, and crisp bok choy—perfect for warming up on chilly days!
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
- 6 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms (shiitake or cremini work great)
- 2 cups baby bok choy, chopped
- 12 frozen potstickers (your choice of filling)
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)
- Fresh green onions and cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
1 Heat sesame oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, and ginger, sautéing until fragrant and softened, about 2-3 minutes.
2 Pour in the broth and bring to a gentle boil. Stir in soy sauce, rice vinegar, and chili flakes if using.
3 Add sliced mushrooms and simmer for 5 minutes to infuse the flavors.
4 Gently drop the frozen potstickers into the soup. Let them cook for 6-8 minutes or until they are tender and cooked through.
5 Add chopped bok choy and cook for an additional 2 minutes, just until wilted but still vibrant.
6 Serve hot in bowls, garnished with fresh green onions and cilantro. Enjoy with a drizzle of sesame oil for extra flavor!
Notes
- Customization: You can use any type of frozen potstickers, whether they’re pork, chicken, veggie, or shrimp, to suit your taste.
- Broth Base: Swap chicken broth with vegetable broth for a vegetarian version, or add miso paste for a deeper umami flavor.
- Spice Level: Adjust the chili flakes or add a splash of chili oil if you prefer a spicier soup.
- Extra Veggies: Feel free to include other vegetables like baby corn, snap peas, or carrots for more variety.
- Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently to avoid overcooking the potstickers.
