Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 6 cups chicken broth (or vegetable broth for a vegetarian option)
- 2 cups sliced carrots
- 1 pound frozen potstickers (any flavor you prefer)
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes (optional, for spice)
- 1/2 cup green onions, chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- Additional sesame oil for drizzling (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Broth: In a large pot, heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a gentle simmer.
- Cook the Vegetables: Add sliced carrots and simmer for 5 minutes until they begin to soften.
- Add the Potstickers: Carefully place the frozen potstickers into the simmering broth. Cook for 5-7 minutes or until the potstickers are tender and heated through. Stir gently to prevent sticking.
- Season the Soup: Stir in soy sauce and chili flakes (if using). Taste the broth and adjust seasoning with salt or pepper as desired.
- Garnish and Serve: Once the potstickers are cooked, garnish the soup with green onions and cilantro. Drizzle with additional sesame oil for a rich, nutty finish if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
