Ingredients
-
12 to 15 frozen dumplings or potstickers (chicken, pork, or vegetable)
-
4 cups low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
-
1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari
-
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
-
1 tablespoon chili oil or chili crisp (adjust to your preferred heat level)

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
-
2 green onions, chopped (divided)

Step-by-Step Instructions
-
Aromatics: Heat a medium pot over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. Sauté the minced garlic and ginger for about 30 seconds until fragrant, taking care not to burn them.
-
Simmer the Broth: Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
-
Cook the Dumplings: Drop the frozen dumplings directly into the simmering broth. Cook for about 5 to 6 minutes (or according to package instructions) until they float and are heated through.
-
Add Heat and Flavor: Stir in the chili oil or chili crisp and half of the chopped green onions, allowing the flavors to meld for 1 minute.
-
Serve: Ladle the hot soup into bowls, ensuring an even distribution of dumplings and broth. Top with the remaining fresh green onions and an extra drizzle of chili oil if desired.
