Ingredients
Scale
- 6 cups (1.5 liters) low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons halal-certified soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/2 cup sliced shiitake mushrooms (fresh or rehydrated)
- 1/2 cup sliced carrots (thinly sliced or julienned)
- 8-12 frozen chicken or vegetable gyozas (halal-certified)
- 2 cups baby bok choy or spinach, roughly chopped
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced (for garnish)
- Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional, for a hint of heat)
Instructions
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, combine the chicken or vegetable broth, halal-certified soy sauce, rice vinegar, grated ginger, minced garlic, and sesame oil. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium-high heat.
- Once boiling, add the sliced shiitake mushrooms and carrots to the pot. Reduce the heat to medium-low and let it simmer for 3-5 minutes, allowing the vegetables to soften slightly and the flavors to meld.
- Carefully add the frozen chicken or vegetable gyozas to the simmering broth. Cook according to the package directions, usually 5-7 minutes, until they are tender and cooked through, floating to the surface.
- Stir in the baby bok choy or spinach and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until the greens are just wilted. Be careful not to overcook them.
- Ladle the hot gyoza soup into individual serving bowls. Garnish generously with thinly sliced green onions and a pinch of red pepper flakes, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
For extra protein, you can add cooked, shredded chicken breast. Feel free to customize with other quick-cooking vegetables like snap peas or bell peppers. To make it spicier, add a dash of sriracha or chili garlic sauce to your bowl. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
