			Main Ingredients
- 12–15 frozen potstickers (store-bought or homemade)
 
- 4 cups chicken broth or vegetable broth for vegetarian option
 
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
 
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
 
- 2 tsp grated ginger
 
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
 
- 2–3 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
 
Optional Vegetables and Seasonings

- Prepare the Broth: Heat sesame oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant to release their flavors into the oil.
 
- Add Broth and Simmer: Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and bring it to a gentle simmer on medium heat, setting the foundation for a rich and savory soup.
 
- Add Potstickers: Carefully add the frozen potstickers into the simmering broth. Cook them according to the package instructions, usually 5-7 minutes, until they are tender and cooked through.
 
- Incorporate Vegetables: If using mushrooms, spinach, or bok choy, add these to the pot during the last 2-3 minutes of cooking so they remain tender but retain their freshness and nutrients.
 
- Season the Soup: Stir in soy sauce and rice vinegar if using. Add salt and pepper to taste, and adjust seasoning by tasting the broth to get the perfect balance of flavors.
 
- Serve and Garnish: Ladle the hot soup into bowls and garnish with the chopped green onions. For an extra kick, drizzle chili oil or sprinkle red pepper flakes on top as desired.
