Ingredients

Scale

Potstickers and Broth

  • 12 frozen potstickers (pork, chicken, vegetarian, or your choice)
  • 6 cups chicken or vegetable broth

Aromatics and Seasonings

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil

Vegetables and Garnish

  • 2 cups baby spinach or bok choy, chopped
  • 3 green onions, sliced (plus extra for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Broth: Heat the chicken or vegetable broth in a large pot over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and grated fresh ginger, letting the broth simmer gently for a few minutes to infuse it with aromatic warmth.
  2. Cook the Potstickers: Bring the broth to a light boil, then carefully add the frozen potstickers directly into the pot. Cook according to package instructions, generally 6 to 8 minutes, until they float and are tender but still firm.
  3. Add the Greens and Seasonings: When the potstickers are nearly done, stir in the baby spinach or bok choy, soy sauce, and a drizzle of sesame oil. Let the greens wilt slightly for a minute or two to enhance flavor and add vibrant color.
  4. Final Touches and Serve: Turn off the heat and sprinkle chopped green onions on top. Give the soup a gentle stir, then ladle into bowls to serve piping hot and enjoy the flavorful, comforting meal.

Notes

  • Use a high-quality broth to enhance the soup’s flavor without extra effort.
  • Cook potstickers in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding the pot and ensure even cooking.
  • Opt for freshly grated ginger over powdered for a brighter, fresher taste.
  • Adjust spiciness by adding chili flakes, chili oil, or fresh chili slices cautiously.
  • Serve immediately to enjoy potstickers at their best texture—soft yet slightly crispy.
  • For gluten-free version, use gluten-free potstickers, tamari instead of soy sauce, and gluten-free broth.
  • Store leftovers in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat gently on stovetop to maintain texture.
  • If freezing, store broth and potstickers separately to preserve quality.
