Easy Asian Potsticker Soup (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Soup Base

01 - 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
02 - 1 tablespoon soy sauce
03 - 1 tablespoon sesame oil
04 - 2 teaspoons fresh grated ginger
05 - 2 cloves minced garlic

→ Main Components

06 - 12-15 frozen potstickers
07 - 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms

→ Seasonings & Garnish

09 - 2-3 chopped green onions
10 - 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
11 - Salt and pepper to taste
12 - 1 teaspoon chili oil or red pepper flakes

# Instructions:

01 - Start by warming sesame oil in a large pot. Once shimmering, add your minced garlic and grated ginger, letting them release their flavors for about a minute until your kitchen fills with their wonderful aroma.
02 - Pour in your broth of choice along with a splash of soy sauce and rice vinegar if using. Let everything come together over a gentle simmer for 5-10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
03 - Gently drop in your frozen potstickers and let them cook through for 5-7 minutes. In the final few minutes, add your mushrooms and leafy greens, watching them transform in the hot broth.
04 - Make it your own by adjusting the seasoning - a pinch of salt, some freshly ground pepper, and a drizzle of chili oil for heat lovers. Serve in deep bowls, topped with a scatter of fresh green onions and a final kiss of sesame oil.

# Notes:

01 - This comforting soup can be made heartier by adding your favorite noodles
