Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
  • 8 ounces shiitake mushrooms, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons grated or minced fresh ginger
  • 4 cloves garlic, pressed or minced
  • 6 cups vegetable broth
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 16 to 20 ounces frozen potstickers
  • 5 scallions, thinly sliced and divided
  • 3 baby bok choy, ends trimmed off and leaves separated
  • 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
  • Freshly-ground black pepper, to taste

Optional Toppings

  • Chili crisp
  • Toasted sesame seeds
  • Furikake seasoning
  • Fried garlic

Instructions

  1. Sauté Mushrooms and Aromatics: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large stockpot over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced shiitake mushrooms and sauté occasionally until they are browned and aromatic. Then add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil along with the minced garlic and grated ginger. Continue to sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
  2. Simmer Soup Base with Potstickers: Pour in the vegetable broth and soy sauce, stirring to combine all ingredients. Bring the broth to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the frozen potstickers, half of the sliced scallions, and the separated bok choy leaves. Stir gently to combine and cook for 3–4 minutes until the potstickers are heated through and cooked completely.
  3. Finish and Season: Stir in the toasted sesame oil and add freshly ground black pepper to taste. Adjust seasoning with additional soy sauce or black pepper as desired.
  4. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish generously with the remaining sliced scallions and any optional toppings such as chili crisp, toasted sesame seeds, furikake seasoning, or fried garlic for added texture and flavor. Serve immediately while hot.

Notes

  • Frozen potstickers can vary in cooking time, so adjust cooking duration accordingly to ensure they are thoroughly heated.
  • You can substitute vegetable broth with chicken broth if not keeping the recipe vegetarian.
  • For extra heat, add more chili crisp or a dash of sriracha.
  • Fresh bok choy adds crunch and nutrients but can be replaced with spinach or Napa cabbage if unavailable.
  • This soup is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
