Method
 

  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, combine the chicken broth, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil.
  2. Add the grated ginger and minced garlic to the pot.
  3. Bring the broth mixture to a simmer over medium heat.
  4. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
  5. Add the frozen potstickers and shredded carrots to the simmering broth.
  6. Cook according to the package directions for the potstickers, usually around 8-10 minutes, or until they are cooked through and heated. Stir occasionally to prevent them from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
  7. Stir in the baby spinach and half of the sliced green onions. Cook until the spinach is wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
  8. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Add salt or soy sauce to enhance the flavor.
  9. Ladle the Potsticker Soup into bowls.
  10. Garnish with the remaining green onions, sesame seeds, and a drizzle of Sriracha, if desired.
  11. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

Potstickers sticking together? Add a teaspoon of sesame oil to the pot while cooking. Soup not flavorful enough? Add a splash of fish sauce or a pinch of MSG for an extra umami boost. Broth too salty? Add a squeeze of lemon juice or a pinch of sugar to balance the flavors. Want to make it vegetarian? Use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth and find vegetarian potstickers. Soup stores well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat by simmering over medium heat or microwaving.
