Ingredients
- Beef Potstickers
- Beef broth
- Fresh ginger
- Garlic
- Green onions (scallions)
- Sliced cremini or shiitake mushrooms
- Spinach or baby bok choy

- Low-sodium soy sauce
- Toasted sesame oil
- Rice vinegar
- Fresh cilantro (optional)
- Chili oil (optional)
- Extra sliced green onions (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Your Aromatics and Vegetables: Finely mince the fresh ginger and garlic. Thinly slice the green onions, separating the white and light green parts from the darker green tops. Slice your mushrooms and carrots.
- Sauté the Aromatics: In a large pot or Dutch oven, add a tablespoon of neutral oil (like canola or vegetable oil) and heat it over medium heat. Add the minced ginger, garlic, and the white and light green parts of the green onions. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant and slightly softened.
- Build the Broth: Pour in the beef broth and bring to a gentle simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Add the sliced carrots and mushrooms, and let them simmer for about 5-7 minutes, or until the carrots are tender-crisp.
- Cook the Potstickers: Carefully add the frozen beef potstickers directly into the simmering broth. Cook them in batches if necessary, and let them simmer gently for about 7-10 minutes, or according to the package directions, until cooked through.
- Add the Greens and Season: Stir in the leafy greens (spinach or baby bok choy) and let them wilt for 1-2 minutes. Season the soup with soy sauce and a splash of rice vinegar, adjusting to taste.
- Finish and Serve: Remove the pot from heat and stir in a drizzle of toasted sesame oil. Ladle the soup into bowls, garnishing with reserved dark green parts of the green onions and fresh cilantro. Add chili oil if desired.
