Ingredients

Scale

Potstickers

  • 12–16 store-bought or homemade potstickers (pork, chicken, veggie, shrimp, or crab filled)

Broth and Seasonings

  • 6 cups chicken broth or vegetable broth
  • 3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • Optional: 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes

Vegetables

  • 2 cups Napa cabbage, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup carrots, thinly sliced or julienned
  • 2 green onions, chopped

Garnishes (optional)

  • Toasted sesame seeds
  • Fresh cilantro or Thai basil
  • Chili oil or fresh jalapeño slices
  • Lime wedges

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Broth: Start by bringing your chicken or vegetable broth to a gentle simmer in a large pot. Add sliced garlic and ginger to infuse the broth with aromatic warmth while you prepare the other ingredients.
  2. Add the Vegetables: Add thinly sliced Napa cabbage, carrots, and any other fresh vegetables to the broth. Let them soften for a few minutes to release their natural flavors and add wonderful texture.
  3. Cook the Potstickers: Gently drop the potstickers into the simmering broth. Allow them to cook completely, usually about 5-7 minutes, until tender and heated through, absorbing the delicious broth while retaining their delicate texture.
  4. Season the Soup: Once the potstickers are ready, stir in a splash of soy sauce and a few drops of toasted sesame oil for that signature savory and nutty flavor boost. Adjust salt to taste and add chili flakes if you want a little heat.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Finish off your Potsticker Soup with freshly chopped green onions and optionally, a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds for crunch. Serve hot for the full comforting experience.

Notes

  • Choose quality potstickers: Fresh or frozen potstickers make a big difference in texture — homemade is wonderful but store-bought works great too.
  • Don’t overboil the dumplings: Keep the broth at a gentle simmer to prevent the potstickers from breaking apart.
  • Fresh aromatics matter: Use fresh ginger and garlic to maximize the depth and brightness of your broth.
  • Add veggies last: For crispier vegetables, add them just before the potstickers finish cooking.
  • Customize your heat: Start with a small amount of chili flakes and increase gradually to suit your palate perfectly.
