Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package (12 oz) pork or chicken dumplings (potstickers)

  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth

  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated

  • 3 garlic cloves, minced

  • 2 cups fresh spinach or bok choy

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce

  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil

  • 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  • Gather and prep all ingredients to make cooking smooth and stress-free.

  • In a large pot over medium heat, add a small splash of oil. Sauté the minced garlic and grated ginger for about 1 minute, until fragrant.

  • Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a gentle boil.

  • Add the dumplings and cook according to package directions, until tender and heated through.

  • Stir in the spinach or bok choy and soy sauce. Cook for 2–3 minutes, just until the greens are wilted.

  • Drizzle in the sesame oil and gently stir.

  • Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped green onions. Serve hot.

Notes

  • Extra depth: Add a splash of rice vinegar or a pinch of white pepper for more complexity.

  • Make it spicy: Stir in chili oil, sriracha, or red pepper flakes.

  • Protein swap: Shrimp dumplings or vegetable dumplings work beautifully.

  • Storage: Best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 2 days.
