Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 8–10 potstickers (fresh or frozen, choice of pork, chicken, or vegetable filled)
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, finely chopped
  • 2 green onions, chopped (plus more for garnish)
  • 1 cup baby spinach or napa cabbage, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil (for finishing drizzle)
  • 1 tablespoon cooking oil (for aromatics)

Optional Variations and Add-ins

  • Dash of chili oil or sliced fresh chili peppers (for spice)
  • Mushrooms, bok choy, or shredded carrots (to enhance nutrition and texture)
  • Cooked ramen or soba noodles (to make soup more filling)
  • Toasted sesame seeds (for garnish)
  • Fresh herbs like cilantro (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Aromatics and Broth: Heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add finely chopped garlic and ginger, cooking just until fragrant, about 1 minute. Pour in 4 cups of chicken or vegetable broth, bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to a simmer to meld the flavors.
  2. Cook the Potstickers: Carefully add 8-10 frozen or fresh potstickers directly into the simmering broth. Let them cook until tender and fully heated through, usually 5-7 minutes, depending on size and thickness.
  3. Add Veggies and Seasoning: Add 1 cup of baby spinach or napa cabbage and 1 tablespoon of soy sauce to taste. Stir gently and allow greens to wilt in the hot broth for about 2 minutes, balancing nutrition and flavor.
  4. Finish with Fresh Garnishes: Turn off the heat and stir in a teaspoon of sesame oil for a fragrant finish. Sprinkle chopped green onions on top and serve immediately while warm and comforting.

Notes

  • Use fresh garlic and ginger for maximum flavor instead of pre-minced versions.
  • Do not overcrowd potstickers in the pot to ensure even cooking and prevent sticking.
  • Simmer gently rather than boiling vigorously to keep broth clear and potstickers intact.
  • Adjust soy sauce gradually to avoid oversalting the soup.
  • Serve immediately for the best potsticker texture, as they can soften if left too long.
