Ingredients

Broth and Dumplings

4 cups chicken or vegetable broth Use low-sodium broth for less salt.
1 package potstickers or dumplings Use frozen or fresh according to your preference.

Aromatics

2 cloves garlic, minced
1 inch piece ginger, grated Fresh ginger is best for brightness.

Greens and Garnish

2 cups greens (spinach, baby bok choy, or napa cabbage) Kale or Swiss chard can be substituted.
2 green onions sliced For garnish.

Seasoning

to taste soy sauce Low-sodium optional.

Method

Preparation

Pour the broth into a large pot and bring it to a gentle boil over medium-high heat.
Lower the heat slightly and add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Let it simmer for 2 to 3 minutes to release their aroma.

Cooking

Add the potstickers to the simmering broth. If they’re frozen, cook according to the package timing, generally 6 to 8 minutes, or until heated through and tender. Fresh potstickers may take 3 to 5 minutes.
Add the greens and simmer just until wilted, about 1 to 2 minutes for spinach.
Taste and season with soy sauce, salt, and pepper. Remember to add soy sauce slowly.

Serving

Ladle into bowls and finish with sliced green onions and a light drizzle of sesame oil.
