Ingredients
  

  • Main Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon neutral cooking oil
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
  • 2 medium carrots thinly sliced
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 16 frozen potstickers approximately 1 pound
  • 2 cups chopped baby bok choy
  • 2 green onions thinly sliced
  • ¼ teaspoon ground white pepper or to taste
  • Optional for Serving
  • Chili crisp or chili oil
  • Sesame seeds
  • Fresh lime wedges
  • Extra sliced green onions

Instructions
 

  • Step 1: Prepare the Vegetables
    Wash and thinly slice the carrots and mushrooms. Chop the baby bok choy, mince the garlic, grate the ginger, and slice the green onions.
    Keep the frozen potstickers in the freezer until you're ready to cook them.
    Step 2: Sauté the Aromatics
    Heat the neutral cooking oil in a large soup pot over medium heat.
    Add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Cook for approximately 30 seconds, stirring continuously, until fragrant.
    Step 3: Cook the Vegetables
    Add the sliced carrots and mushrooms to the pot.
    Cook for approximately 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften.
    Step 4: Prepare the Broth
    Pour in the low-sodium chicken broth, soy sauce, and rice vinegar.
    Stir gently and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
    Step 5: Add the Frozen Potstickers
    Carefully add the frozen potstickers directly to the hot broth without thawing.
    Reduce the heat slightly and simmer according to the package directions, usually around 5–7 minutes, until the wrappers are tender and the filling is fully cooked.
    Stir gently to prevent the dumplings from sticking or breaking apart.
    Step 6: Add the Bok Choy
    Add the chopped baby bok choy and cook for approximately 2 minutes, until the leaves wilt and the stems become tender.
    Step 7: Finish the Soup
    Stir in the toasted sesame oil and ground white pepper.
    Taste the broth and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
    Avoid prolonged boiling, as this can make the potstickers overly soft.
    Step 8: Garnish and Serve
    Divide the soup evenly among four serving bowls.
    Garnish with sliced green onions, sesame seeds, chili crisp, or fresh lime wedges if desired.
    Serve immediately while the dumplings are tender and the broth is hot.
