Main Ingredients
- 1 package (12 oz) pork or chicken dumplings
- 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cups fresh spinach or bok choy
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil
Garnish
- Gather Ingredients: Assemble all your ingredients on the counter to streamline the cooking process and make it more enjoyable.
- Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot over medium heat, add a splash of oil and sauté the minced garlic and grated ginger until fragrant, about 1 minute, to build the base flavor of the soup.
- Add Broth and Dumplings: Pour in the low-sodium chicken broth and bring it to a gentle boil. Carefully add the dumplings, cooking them until tender, about 5-7 minutes, allowing the dumplings to cook thoroughly in the broth.
- Add Greens and Seasoning: Stir in the fresh spinach or bok choy along with the soy sauce. Cook until the greens are wilted, approximately 2-3 minutes, infusing the soup with freshness and umami.
- Finish with Sesame Oil: Drizzle sesame oil into the pot before serving to add a nutty aroma and enhanced richness to the dish.
- Garnish and Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped green onions for an added layer of freshness and color. Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
- For best texture, avoid overcrowding the potstickers when cooking to prevent them from sticking together.
- You can substitute pork or chicken dumplings with shrimp or vegetable dumplings for variety.
- Use homemade chicken stock for a richer broth if available.
- Store leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat gently on the stovetop over low heat to prevent dumplings from becoming mushy.
- Always taste and adjust seasoning before serving for balanced flavors.
