  • 6 cups chicken broth low sodium preferred
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 1/2 cup chopped green onions

Method
 

  1. Heat sesame oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
  2. Add garlic and ginger and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  3. Pour in chicken broth, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, and red pepper flakes (if using). Bring to a simmer.
  4. Add shredded carrots and sliced mushrooms. Simmer for 5 minutes, or until slightly softened.
  5. Gently add frozen potstickers to the soup. Cook according to package directions, usually about 5-7 minutes, or until heated through. Be careful not to overcrowd the pot. You may need to cook them in batches.
  6. Stir in chopped green onions and baby bok choy during the last minute of cooking, allowing them to wilt slightly.
  7. Ladle soup into bowls and garnish with sesame seeds, if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

For a richer flavor, use pork potstickers. Adjust the amount of soy sauce and rice vinegar to your liking. A splash of fish sauce can add extra umami. Other vegetables like spinach, snow peas, or water chestnuts can be added for variety.
