Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 8 ounces cremini or shiitake mushrooms thinly sliced
  • 1 large carrot cut into strips
  • 2 scallions sliced (white and green parts separated)
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
  • 6 cups low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon granulated sugar
  • 3 baby bok choy trimmed and quartered
  • 1 24-ounce package frozen potstickers
  • 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil

Method
 

  1. Sauté the Vegetables
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the mushrooms, carrot strips, and the white parts of the scallions. Stir and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add Aromatics
  4. Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger. Cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Prepare the Broth
  6. Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sugar. Stir to combine and bring the soup to a gentle boil.
  7. Add Bok Choy and Potstickers
  8. Carefully add the baby bok choy and frozen potstickers to the boiling broth. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for about 5 minutes, until the potstickers are cooked through and the bok choy is tender.
  9. Finish with Sesame Oil
  10. Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the toasted sesame oil for a rich, nutty flavor. Adjust seasoning with salt if needed.
  11. Serve
  12. Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with the green parts of the scallions, and add optional toppings like chili crisp, toasted sesame seeds, furikake, or red pepper flakes. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

  • Customize the Veggies: Swap baby bok choy for spinach, kale, or Napa cabbage if desired.
  • Storage Tips: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop.
  • Freezing Instructions: Freeze the broth and vegetables separately from the potstickers to maintain their texture. Add fresh potstickers when reheating.
  • Optional Toppings: Chili oil, toasted sesame seeds, fresh cilantro, or a drizzle of soy sauce can elevate the flavors even further.
