Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 8 ounces shiitake mushrooms, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons grated or minced fresh ginger
- 4 cloves garlic, pressed or minced
- 6 cups vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 16 to 20 ounces frozen chicken or beef potstickers
- 5 scallions, thinly sliced and divided
- 3 baby bok choy, ends trimmed off and leaves separated
- 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
- Freshly-ground black pepper
Optional Toppings
- Chili crisp
- Toasted sesame seeds
- Furikake seasoning
- Fried garlic
Instructions
- Sauté Mushrooms: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large stockpot over medium-high heat. Add the sliced shiitake mushrooms and sauté, stirring occasionally, until browned and fragrant.
- Add Aromatics: Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, then the grated ginger and minced garlic. Continue sautéing for 1-2 minutes until the garlic and ginger are fragrant, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
- Add Broth and Seasoning: Pour in the vegetable broth and soy sauce, stirring to combine all ingredients. Increase heat to bring the broth to a boil.
- Cook Potstickers and Vegetables: Once boiling, add the frozen potstickers, half of the sliced scallions, and bok choy leaves. Stir gently to combine and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until potstickers are fully cooked and vegetables are tender.
- Finish Soup: Stir in the toasted sesame oil and season with freshly ground black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional soy sauce or pepper if desired.
- Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish generously with the remaining scallions and any optional toppings like chili crisp, toasted sesame seeds, furikake, or fried garlic. Serve immediately.
Notes
- For best results, use fresh ginger and garlic to enhance the soup’s flavor.
- Frozen potstickers do not require thawing before adding to the soup.
- Adjust the soy sauce quantity to control the soup’s saltiness.
- Optional toppings such as chili crisp and furikake add extra flavor and texture.
- To make this soup vegan, ensure the potstickers are vegetable-based.
