# How to Make It:
01 -
Heat 15 milliliters sesame oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, stirring frequently. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant and golden, avoiding browning to prevent bitterness.
02 -
Pour in 1.4 liters of chicken or vegetable broth. Stir to combine and raise heat to bring the liquid to a gentle simmer, maintaining this for 5 to 7 minutes without boiling over.
03 -
Add frozen potstickers to the simmering broth, distributing evenly. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes until the dumplings float and are fully heated. Stir gently occasionally to prevent sticking.
04 -
Incorporate sliced mushrooms and leafy greens if using. Continue cooking with the potstickers for 2 to 3 minutes to preserve their vibrant color and texture.
05 -
Stir in soy sauce and rice vinegar (or lemon juice). Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to enhance the broth’s depth.
06 -
Ladle the soup into bowls ensuring a balanced mix of dumplings and vegetables. Garnish with chopped green onions and optionally drizzle chili oil or sprinkle red pepper flakes for added heat.
# Additional Tips:
01 -
Use high-quality broth for optimal flavor. Avoid overcooking potstickers to maintain texture. Add leafy greens near the end to keep their freshness.
02 -
Store leftovers in airtight containers: refrigerate up to 2 days or freeze broth separately for up to 3 months. Reheat gently to preserve dumpling integrity.
