Ingredients
  

  • 6 cups low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 tablespoon neutral oil (avocado or canola)
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 medium carrots, thinly sliced
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce, to taste
  • 16 to 20 chicken or vegetable potstickers (frozen or fresh)
  • 3 cups baby spinach (or 2 cups chopped bok choy)
  • 4 stalks green onions, thinly sliced (plus extra for garnish)
  • red pepper flakes or chili oil, optional
  • fresh cilantro, chopped, optional
  • sesame seeds, for garnish, optional
  • lime wedges, for serving, optional

Instructions
 

  • Prep the aromatics: grate the ginger, mince the garlic, slice the carrots and green onions. Set aside greens and garnishes.
  • Heat a large pot over medium heat. Add neutral oil and sesame oil. Stir in ginger and garlic and sauté 20–30 seconds until fragrant (do not brown).
  • Pour in the broth and add 1 tablespoon soy sauce. Bring to a gentle simmer and taste; adjust soy as needed for depth.
  • Add the sliced carrots and simmer 3–5 minutes until just tender. If using mushrooms or other vegetables, add them now to soften.
  • Slide potstickers into the simmering broth one at a time to prevent sticking. Maintain a gentle simmer (do not boil) and cook per package directions, usually 6–10 minutes, until wrappers are glossy and centers are hot.
  • Stir in the greens (spinach or bok choy) and sliced green onions during the last 1–2 minutes to wilt and brighten.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a drizzle of chili oil for heat, and a squeeze of lime for brightness, if desired.
  • Ladle into bowls and garnish with extra green onions, cilantro, and sesame seeds. Serve hot.
