Ingredients

Scale

Potstickers

  • 12–15 frozen or fresh potstickers (chicken, vegetable, shrimp, or tofu)

Broth

  • 6 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (use tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil

Vegetables

  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • Optional: handful of chopped bok choy, baby spinach, or watercress

Aromatics & Seasonings

  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
  • Salt to taste

Optional

  • 1 beaten egg
  • Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish
  • Sliced fresh chili or chili oil for spice

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Broth: Bring chicken or vegetable broth to a gentle boil in a large pot. Add minced garlic and grated ginger to infuse the broth with warm, aromatic flavors. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes to develop the taste fully.
  2. Add Vegetables: Stir in shredded carrots and sliced mushrooms. Allow them to cook for a few minutes until they soften slightly while retaining some crunch and freshness.
  3. Cook the Potstickers: Gently place frozen or fresh potstickers directly into the simmering broth. Cook according to package instructions, usually 6 to 8 minutes, until they float and become tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  4. Season the Soup: Once potstickers are cooked, stir in soy sauce and toasted sesame oil. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt or additional soy sauce for a balanced flavor.
  5. Optional Egg Drop: Slowly pour the beaten egg into the soup while stirring gently to create delicate ribbons of cooked egg, adding a silky texture and extra protein.
  6. Finish with Greens and Garnish: Add chopped green onions and fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley for color and fresh flavor before serving. Add optional chili or chili oil here if desired.

Notes

  • Use frozen potstickers to save prep time and cook directly from the freezer.
  • Maintain a gentle simmer to cook potstickers evenly without tearing their wrappers.
  • Customize the broth by adding a splash of rice vinegar or lime juice for brightness.
  • Add leafy greens last to keep their color and crunch.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs and toasted sesame seeds for enhanced aroma and texture.
