Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 12 frozen pork potstickers
- 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
- 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 3 sliced scallions (for garnish)
- 2 cups baby bok choy, chopped
- 2 medium carrots, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Chop the baby bok choy and thinly slice the carrots to ensure even cooking and ease of eating.
- Sauté Aromatics: Heat sesame oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add minced garlic and grated fresh ginger, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant to build a flavorful base for the soup.
- Add Broth: Pour in the low-sodium vegetable broth and bring it to a gentle simmer, which will help cook the potstickers evenly.
- Cook Potstickers: Add the frozen pork potstickers directly to the simmering broth. Cook them as per package instructions, usually around 6-8 minutes, until they are heated through and tender.
- Add Vegetables: Stir in the sliced carrots and chopped bok choy. Let the soup simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes so the vegetables become tender but retain a slight crispness.
- Season Soup: Drizzle low-sodium soy sauce into the soup. Stir and taste, adjusting the seasoning with additional soy sauce or salt if needed.
- Garnish and Serve: Ladle the hot soup into bowls and garnish with sliced scallions and optional fresh cilantro for a pop of color and freshness. Enjoy immediately.
Notes
- Use low-sodium broth and soy sauce to control the salt content.
- Vegetables can be varied; try adding mushrooms or snap peas for extra texture.
- For a spicier kick, add a teaspoon of chili garlic sauce or fresh sliced chili.
- Potstickers can be swapped for chicken or vegetable varieties based on preference.
- Leftovers keep well in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; reheat gently on the stovetop.
