Instructions

  1. Prep the vegetables: Slice the mushrooms, chop the bok choy, mince the ginger and garlic, and slice the green onions.
  2. Cook the aromatics: Heat the sesame oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the ginger and garlic and cook for about 30 seconds, then add the mushrooms and cook for 2 mins, until they begin to soften.
  3. Build the broth: Pour in the broth and bring it to a gentle simmer. Stir in the soy sauce and season with pepper, salt, and chili flakes or sriracha to taste.
  4. Cook the potstickers: Carefully add the dumplings to the simmering broth. Cook for 5 to 7 mins, or according to package directions, until tender and cooked through.
  5. Add the bok choy: Stir in the bok choy and cook for about 2 mins, until the leaves are bright green and the stems are tender. If using egg or tofu, add it during this step and cook until done or heated through.
  6. Finish and serve: Taste and adjust the seasoning. Ladle into bowls and finish with sliced green onions.

Notes

  • Frozen potstickers can go straight into the simmering broth without thawing.
  • Keep the broth at a gentle simmer so the dumpling wrappers don’t break apart.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For the best texture, store extra broth separately from uncooked dumplings and cook fresh dumplings when reheating.
  • The broth can be frozen for up to 2 months, but add fresh dumplings and bok choy after reheating.
