Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 2 cups frozen potstickers (or gyoza)
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms
- 1 cup baby spinach
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 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 gently for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned, to release their rich aromas.
- Prepare the Broth: Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil to create a flavorful soup base.
- Cook the Potstickers: Add the frozen potstickers to the boiling broth. Cook them according to the package instructions, typically 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent them from sticking to the pot.
- Add the Vegetables: Once the potstickers are cooked through, stir in the sliced mushrooms and allow the soup to simmer for about 3 minutes until the mushrooms soften and release their flavor.
- Add Spinach and Green Onions: Mix in the baby spinach and sliced green onions, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until the spinach wilts and the green onions soften slightly.
- Season: Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning by adding soy sauce to your preferred saltiness level.
- Serve: Ladle the hot soup into bowls and enjoy immediately as a comforting and delicious meal.
