Ingredients
  

Aromatics
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil toasted
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger minced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
Broth Base
  • 6 cups chicken or vegetable broth low sodium preferred
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
Dumplings & Garnish
  • 16-20 pieces frozen potstickers pork, chicken, or vegetable
  • 2 stalks green onions thinly sliced
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds for garnish

Equipment

  • Large Pot or Dutch Oven
  • Ladle
  • Cutting Board
  • Chef's Knife

Method
 

  1. Heat the toasted sesame oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
  2. Add the minced ginger and garlic. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until highly fragrant, being careful not to let them burn.
  3. Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth, soy sauce, and rice vinegar. Increase the heat and bring the mixture to a rolling boil.
  4. Gently drop the frozen potstickers into the boiling broth. Stir once gently to prevent sticking.
  5. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 4-6 minutes, or until the potstickers float to the surface and are cooked through.
  6. Remove from heat. Ladle the hot soup and potstickers into bowls.
  7. Garnish generously with sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately.

Notes

If expecting leftovers, cook the potstickers in a separate pot of water and add them to the broth per individual serving to prevent them from becoming mushy in the fridge.
