Ingredients

Scale

Soup Base

  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 teaspoons fresh ginger, minced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 6 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
  • 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon chili garlic sauce (optional)

Vegetables

  • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced (shiitake or cremini preferred)
  • 3 cups baby bok choy or spinach, chopped

Dumplings and Garnishes

  • 1216 frozen dumplings or potstickers
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat Aromatics: Heat sesame oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add minced ginger and garlic, then sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant and aromatic.
  2. Add Broth and Seasonings: Stir in the vegetable broth, low-sodium soy sauce, rice vinegar, and optional chili garlic sauce. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil to develop flavors.
  3. Cook Mushrooms: Add sliced mushrooms to the broth and simmer for 3–4 minutes until they become tender and absorb the soup flavors.
  4. Wilt Greens: Stir in chopped baby bok choy or spinach and simmer for another 2–3 minutes until the greens are wilted but still vibrant.
  5. Cook Dumplings: Gently add the frozen dumplings or potstickers to the soup. Simmer for 5–7 minutes, or according to package instructions, until dumplings are heated through and fully cooked.
  6. Serve and Garnish: Ladle the soup into bowls and top with chopped green onions, toasted sesame seeds, freshly ground black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes for added heat. Serve hot.

Notes
