Ingredients

Scale

Sauce and Broth

  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 teaspoons fresh ginger, minced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 6 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
  • 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon chili garlic sauce (optional)

Vegetables and Add-ins

  • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced (shiitake or cremini preferred)
  • 3 cups baby bok choy or spinach, chopped
  • 1216 frozen dumplings or potstickers
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat the aromatics: Heat sesame oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add minced ginger and garlic, sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant and softened, releasing their flavors.
  2. Prepare the broth: Stir in the low-sodium vegetable broth, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and chili garlic sauce (if using). Bring the mixture to a gentle boil to combine all flavors.
  3. Cook the mushrooms: Add sliced mushrooms to the simmering broth and cook for 3–4 minutes until tender and infused with the broth’s flavor.
  4. Add the greens: Stir in the chopped baby bok choy or spinach, simmering for another 2–3 minutes until the greens are wilted but still vibrant.
  5. Cook the dumplings: Gently add frozen dumplings or potstickers to the pot. Simmer for 5–7 minutes until they are fully cooked through and heated.
  6. Garnish and serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and top with chopped green onions, toasted sesame seeds, freshly ground black pepper, and red pepper flakes if desired for a spicy kick. Serve hot and enjoy.

Notes

  • Use vegetable broth with low sodium to control saltiness in the soup.
  • Substitute baby bok choy with spinach or kale for a different leafy green option.
  • Adjust chili garlic sauce and red pepper flakes according to your preferred spice level.
  • Frozen dumplings can be store-bought or homemade; just ensure they are fully cooked before serving.
  • For a protein boost, consider adding tofu or cooked chicken alongside dumplings.
  • Keep the sesame seeds toasted for added nutty flavor and crunch.
