Ingredients
Scale
Potstickers and Noodles
- 12 potstickers (store-bought or homemade)
- 8 ounces egg noodles (or any noodle of choice)
Broth and Seasonings
- 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1-inch piece of fresh ginger, grated
Vegetables and Garnishes
- 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
- 1/2 cup shredded carrots
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
- Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
- Sriracha or chili oil (optional, for heat)
Instructions
- Cook Potstickers: Cook the potstickers according to package instructions, typically pan-frying them until crispy and golden. Once cooked, set them aside to keep warm.
- Prepare Noodles: Cook the egg noodles as per package instructions until tender, then drain and set them aside.
- Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing for 1-2 minutes until they release their fragrant aroma.
- Cook Vegetables: Add the sliced mushrooms and shredded carrots to the pot, cooking for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables soften and develop flavor.
- Add Broth and Seasonings: Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth, soy sauce, and rice vinegar. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for 5-7 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Combine Noodles and Broth: Add the cooked noodles into the simmering broth and stir for 2-3 minutes to heat the noodles through and incorporate them into the soup.
- Assemble Bowls: Divide the noodle broth evenly into serving bowls. Top each bowl with the crispy potstickers, sliced green onions, optional sesame seeds, and fresh cilantro for garnish.
- Add Heat and Serve: Drizzle sriracha or chili oil over the bowls for a spicy kick if desired. Serve immediately while hot and enjoy.
Notes
- For vegetarian or vegan versions, use vegetable broth and vegetable-based potstickers.
- Feel free to swap out egg noodles for rice noodles or udon depending on your preference.
- Additional vegetables like bok choy or snap peas can be added when sautéing for extra nutrition.
- If you prefer less oil, you can steam or boil the potstickers instead of pan-frying.
- Adjust the amount of soy sauce to control saltiness according to taste.
