1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon rice vinegar
1/2 teaspoon chili garlic sauce (optional, for heat)
8 oz mushrooms (shiitake or button), sliced
2 cups bok choy, chopped (stems and leaves)
1/2 cup frozen peas (optional)
Salt and pepper, to taste
12-16 frozen potstickers (chicken, pork, or veggie)
For Garnish:
Green onions, chopped
Fresh cilantro (optional)
Extra chili garlic sauce (optional, for spice)
A drizzle of sesame oil (optional)
PREPARATION STEPS
Prepare the broth: In a large pot, heat sesame oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Build the soup: Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and chili garlic sauce (if using). Bring the mixture to a simmer, and add the sliced mushrooms. Let the soup simmer for 5-7 minutes until the mushrooms are tender.
Add bok choy and peas: Stir in the chopped bok choy and frozen peas (if using). Continue to simmer for another 5 minutes until the bok choy is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.
Cook the potstickers: Gently add the frozen potstickers to the soup. Let them cook in the broth for 8-10 minutes until they’re heated through and tender. Stir occasionally to make sure they don’t stick together.
Season: Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with salt, pepper, or more soy sauce if needed.
