Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 12 frozen pork potstickers
- 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
- 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 2 cups baby bok choy, chopped
- 2 medium carrots, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil
Garnish
- 3 sliced scallions
- Fresh cilantro (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Vegetables: Chop the baby bok choy and thinly slice the carrots to have them ready for the soup.
- Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot over medium heat, add the sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated fresh ginger. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
- Add Broth and Simmer: Pour the low-sodium vegetable broth into the pot and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
- Cook Potstickers: Add the frozen pork potstickers directly to the simmering broth. Cook according to package instructions, approximately 6-8 minutes, until they are heated through and tender.
- Add Vegetables: Stir in the sliced carrots and chopped bok choy. Continue simmering the soup for an additional 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are tender yet still crisp.
- Season the Soup: Drizzle in the low-sodium soy sauce, stir, and taste. Adjust seasoning if necessary based on your preference.
- Serve: Ladle the hot soup into bowls and garnish with sliced scallions and fresh cilantro if desired. Serve immediately for best flavor.
Notes
- For a vegetarian version, substitute the pork potstickers with vegetable-filled potstickers.
- Be careful not to overcook the bok choy and carrots to maintain their crispness and vibrant color.
- Adjust the soy sauce amount to control the salt level in the soup.
- Fresh ginger adds brightness; use ground ginger only if fresh is unavailable but reduce quantity.
- Garnishing with cilantro is optional but adds fresh herbal notes that complement the flavors well.
