Ingredients
Soup Base
- 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
Potstickers & Vegetables
- 16 to 20 ounces frozen potstickers
- 5 scallions, thinly sliced and divided
- 3 baby bok choy, ends trimmed and leaves separated
Finishing Touches
- 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
- Freshly-ground black pepper, to taste
- Optional toppings: chili crisp, toasted sesame seeds, furikake seasoning, fried garlic
Instructions
- Sauté: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large stockpot over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced shiitake mushrooms and sauté, stirring occasionally, until they are browned and fragrant. Then add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Continue to sauté for 1-2 more minutes, stirring occasionally to release their flavors.
- Simmer: Pour in the vegetable broth and soy sauce, stirring to combine. Bring the broth to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, add the frozen potstickers, half of the sliced scallions, and the separated baby bok choy leaves. Stir gently to combine and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the potstickers are heated through and cooked.
- Finish: Stir in the toasted sesame oil and add freshly ground black pepper to taste. 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 such as chili crisp, toasted sesame seeds, furikake seasoning, or fried garlic. Serve hot for a comforting, flavorful meal.
Notes
- You can substitute the vegetable broth with chicken broth if not strictly vegetarian.
- Feel free to use your favorite variety of frozen potstickers, such as pork, chicken, or vegetable.
- Adjust the amount of soy sauce and black pepper according to your taste preference.
- For extra spice, add chili crisp or a dash of hot sauce when serving.
- Make sure not to overcrowd the pot when cooking potstickers; cook in batches if needed to avoid sticking.
- This soup is best served immediately but can be refrigerated and reheated within 2 days.
