Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons frying oil
  • 7 ounces (200g) cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 1/4 head of broccoli, cut into small florets
  • 1 large carrot or 2 medium, cut into matchsticks
  • 2 green onions, white and green parts separated and thinly sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic, grated or minced
  • 1-inch (3cm) piece of fresh ginger, grated
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional, to taste)
  • 8 cups chicken broth (or vegetable broth for vegetarian version)
  • 24 oz (680g) package of frozen potstickers (chicken, pork, or veggie)
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce (use low-sodium if needed)
  • 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seed oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare all vegetables and aromatics: slice mushrooms, broccoli, and carrots; grate garlic and ginger; slice green onions and separate white and green parts.
  2. In a large pot, heat oil over high heat. Add mushrooms, broccoli, carrots, and the white parts of green onions. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until slightly browned.
  3. Add garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes. Stir and cook for 1 minute.
  4. Pour in chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and let simmer for 5 minutes.
  5. Add frozen potstickers to the pot and cook according to package instructions, usually 3-5 minutes.
  6. Turn off the heat and stir in soy sauce and toasted sesame oil.
  7. Garnish with the green parts of the green onions and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Store dumplings separately if planning leftovers to avoid mushiness.
  • Use low-sodium broth and soy sauce for a lower-salt version.
  • To make it vegan or vegetarian, use veggie broth and plant-based dumplings.
  • Add chili oil or sriracha for a spicy kick.
  • Customize with other vegetables like bok choy, zucchini, or spinach.
