- Measuring cups
- Knife
- Cutting board
- Ladle
- Bowls
Ingredients
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
- 1 cup sliced bok choy
- 1 cup sliced carrots
- ½ cup sliced green onions, plus more for garnish
- 1 pound frozen potstickers gyoza or dumplings
- Sriracha or chili garlic sauce optional garnish
- Toasted sesame seeds optional garnish
- Fresh cilantro, chopped optional garnish

Instructions
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, combine the chicken broth, soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, and red pepper flakes (if using).
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Once boiling, add the bok choy, carrots, and half of the green onions to the pot.
- Reduce the heat to medium and simmer for about 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
- Gently add the frozen potstickers to the simmering broth.
- Cook according to the package directions, usually about 5-7 minutes, or until the potstickers are heated through and cooked. Be careful not to overcrowd the pot; you may need to cook them in batches.
- Ladle the soup into bowls, making sure each bowl gets a generous serving of potstickers and vegetables.
- Garnish with the remaining green onions, sriracha (if using), sesame seeds, and fresh cilantro. A squeeze of lime juice can brighten up the flavors even more!
Notes
To prevent potstickers from sticking together, gently stir the soup as they cook. If the broth isn't flavorful enough, add a splash more soy sauce or fish sauce. For a thicker soup, whisk a tablespoon of cornstarch with two tablespoons of cold water and stir it in during the last few minutes of cooking. Leftover soup stores well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat on the stovetop or in the microwave.
