Ingredients
Scale
Sauté Base
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 8 ounces shiitake mushrooms, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons grated or minced fresh ginger
- 4 cloves garlic, pressed or minced
Soup
- 6 cups vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 16 to 20 ounces frozen potstickers
- 3 baby bok choy, ends trimmed off and leaves separated
- 5 scallions, thinly sliced and divided
- 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
- Freshly-ground black pepper
Optional Toppings
- Chili crisp
- Toasted sesame seeds
- Furikake seasoning
- Fried garlic
Instructions
- Sauté the Mushrooms: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large stockpot over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced shiitake mushrooms and sauté, stirring occasionally, until they are browned and fragrant.
- Add Aromatics: Stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, garlic, and fresh grated ginger. Continue to sauté for another 1-2 minutes until the mixture is aromatic and slightly softened.
- Add Broth and Soy Sauce: Pour in the vegetable broth and soy sauce. Stir well to combine all ingredients and bring the broth to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
- Cook Potstickers and Vegetables: Add the frozen potstickers, half of the sliced scallions, and separated bok choy leaves to the boiling broth. Stir gently to distribute evenly. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until the potstickers are cooked through and the bok choy is tender but crisp.
- Finish Soup: Stir in the toasted sesame oil and season with freshly ground black pepper to taste. Adjust seasoning further with additional soy sauce or pepper if desired.
- Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish generously with the remaining scallions and your choice of optional toppings such as chili crisp, toasted sesame seeds, furikake seasoning, or fried garlic for extra flavor and texture.
Notes
- If you prefer meat potstickers, feel free to substitute the frozen ones used in this recipe.
- For a spicier broth, add chili flakes or a drizzle of chili oil during cooking or as a topping.
- Fresh ginger and garlic provide the best flavor, but ground ginger and garlic powder can be used in a pinch.
- Adjust soy sauce quantity depending on your preferred saltiness level and whether the broth is low sodium.
- Feel free to add other greens like spinach or napa cabbage as alternatives to bok choy.
