Instructions
-
Sauté aromatics:
In a large pot, heat sesame oil over medium heat. Add garlic and ginger, and sauté for about 1–2 minutes until fragrant. -
Build the broth:
Add broth, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and chili sauce (if using). Bring to a simmer. -
Add vegetables:
Stir in mushrooms and cook for 3–4 minutes until slightly softened. -
Simmer potstickers:
Gently add potstickers to the simmering broth. Cook according to package directions (usually 4–6 minutes for fresh/frozen). Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. -
Add bok choy:
In the last 2 minutes of cooking, stir in the bok choy until wilted and tender. -
Finish and serve:
Taste the broth and adjust seasoning with more soy sauce if needed. Drizzle with toasted sesame oil, top with green onions, and garnish with cilantro or basil if desired.
