Ingredients
Scale
Savory Broth Base
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups frozen potstickers (or gyoza)
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms
- 1 cup baby spinach
- 2 green onions, sliced
Seasoning
- Soy sauce to taste
Instructions
- Heat the Sesame Oil: In a large pot, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, releasing their aromatic flavors.
- Prepare the Broth: Pour the chicken or vegetable broth into the pot and bring the mixture to a boil, forming the flavorful base of the soup.
- Cook the Potstickers: Add the frozen potstickers directly into the boiling broth. Cook them for about 5–7 minutes according to package instructions, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
- Add the Vegetables: Once the potstickers are cooked through, stir in the sliced mushrooms and allow them to simmer for about 3 minutes until tender and infused with broth flavor.
- Add Spinach and Green Onions: Incorporate the baby spinach and sliced green onions into the soup, cooking for another 1-2 minutes until the spinach wilts and brightens up the soup.
- Season: Adjust the soup’s flavor by adding soy sauce to taste. Stir well and taste-test to reach preferred saltiness.
- Serve: Ladle the hot soup into bowls and serve immediately for a warm, satisfying meal.
