Ingredients

Scale

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

  • 2 green onions, chopped

Instructions

  1. Gather Ingredients: Assemble all your ingredients on the counter to streamline the cooking process and make it more enjoyable.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Finish with Sesame Oil: Drizzle sesame oil into the pot before serving to add a nutty aroma and enhanced richness to the dish.
  6. 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.
