  • Total Time: 33 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon neutral oil (like canola or grapeseed)
  • 1 inch fresh ginger, peeled and minced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 6 cups low-sodium vegetable or chicken broth
  • 8 ounces fresh shiitake mushrooms, stems removed and sliced
  • 1 pound frozen chicken or turkey potstickers
  • 4-5 baby bok choy, ends trimmed and halved lengthwise
  • 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon white pepper (optional)
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced for garnish
  • Optional: Sriracha or chili garlic sauce for serving

Instructions

  1. Heat the neutral oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the minced ginger and garlic, sautéing for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn them.
  2. Pour in the vegetable or chicken broth. Bring the broth to a gentle simmer. Add the sliced shiitake mushrooms and let them simmer for 5 minutes, allowing their earthy flavors to infuse the broth.
  3. Carefully add the frozen chicken or turkey potstickers to the simmering broth. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the potstickers are cooked through and float to the surface. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  4. Add the halved baby bok choy to the pot. Continue to simmer for another 3-4 minutes, or until the bok choy is tender-crisp and bright green.
  5. Stir in the low-sodium soy sauce and sesame oil. Season with white pepper, if using. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed, adding more soy sauce if desired.
  6. Ladle the hot soup into individual bowls. Garnish generously with thinly sliced green onions. Serve immediately, with optional Sriracha or chili garlic sauce on the side for an extra kick.

Notes

For a heartier meal, you can add cooked ramen noodles or rice vermicelli during the last minute of cooking. Feel free to swap shiitake mushrooms for cremini or oyster mushrooms. If you prefer a richer broth, a touch of mushroom umami seasoning can be added. This soup is best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop.
