Scale
Soup Ingredients
- 20 pieces Potstickers (pre-made or homemade)
- 8 ounces Mushrooms (shiitake or button varieties), sliced
- 3 cups Bok Choy, chopped
- 4 cups Broth (Chicken or Vegetable)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh Ginger, grated
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons Soy Sauce (or tamari/coconut aminos)
Side Ingredients
- 2 pieces Scallion Pancakes (store-bought or homemade), for dipping
- 2 cups Steamed Rice, to serve alongside or mixed in
Instructions
- Prepare the broth: In a large pot, heat the broth over medium heat. Add the grated ginger and minced garlic, allowing the flavors to infuse the liquid for about 5 minutes.
- Add mushrooms and bok choy: Stir in the sliced mushrooms and chopped bok choy. Let them simmer until tender, about 5 minutes, ensuring the mushrooms release their rich umami flavor into the broth.
- Cook the potstickers: Gently add the potstickers to the simmering broth. Allow them to cook for 5 to 7 minutes or until they float to the top and are heated through completely.
- Season the soup: Stir in the soy sauce or preferred alternative to enhance the savory depth of the soup. Adjust seasoning to taste, adding more soy sauce or a pinch of salt if necessary.
- Prepare side dishes: While the soup simmers, heat or cook the scallion pancakes according to package instructions or your preferred method until crispy and golden. Steam or reheat the rice to serve warm.
- Serve: Ladle the hot potsticker soup into bowls, pairing each serving with a scallion pancake and a side of steamed rice, either on the side or mixed into the soup as preferred.
Notes
- For a vegetarian version, use vegetable broth and vegan potstickers.
- Can substitute bok choy with napa cabbage or spinach.
- Adjust soy sauce quantity for salt preference or use low-sodium soy sauce.
- Scallion pancakes can be replaced with crispy wonton chips or served without.
- Store leftovers separately to maintain crispness of scallion pancakes.
