Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 12-16 pieces Potstickers (frozen or homemade)
  • 4 cups vegetable broth Use low-sodium for more control over salt
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 inch fresh ginger, grated or finely minced
  • 2 cups greens (baby spinach, baby bok choy, or thinly sliced Napa cabbage)
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce Substitute tamari for gluten-free
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil Toasted sesame oil for finishing flavor
  • to taste Salt and black pepper
  • for garnish Green onions, thinly sliced

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Heat a large pot over medium. Add the sesame oil and let it warm until it smells nutty, about 30 seconds.
  2. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté, stirring, until fragrant—about 30 to 45 seconds. Don’t let the garlic brown.
  3. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the liquid to a gentle boil.
  4. Add the potstickers to the boiling broth. If they’re frozen, simmer for 6–8 minutes or follow the package directions until heated through and the wrappers are tender. If using pre-cooked or freshly pan-seared potstickers, add them to the broth and simmer for 2–3 minutes to warm through.
  5. Add the greens and the soy sauce. Stir and let the greens wilt for 1–2 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
  6. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with sliced green onions. Serve immediately while hot.

Notes

Refrigerate leftover soup in an airtight container within two hours of cooking. Eat within 2–3 days for best quality. Reheat on the stovetop until steaming. For freezing, separate potstickers and freeze cooked ones; thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.
