Instructions

  1. Prep Veggies (10 minutes): Prepare your veggies by chopping the napa cabbage, julienning the carrots, slicing the green onions, and celery.
  2. Sauté Aromatics (5 minutes): In a large pot over medium heat, add the sesame oil. Once hot, add the garlic, ginger, and the white parts of the green onions. Sauté until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.

  4. Add Potstickers (10 minutes): Gently drop in the frozen pork potstickers. Allow them to cook for the time mentioned on the package, usually around 5-8 minutes.
  5. Stir in Napa Cabbage (3 minutes): Add the chopped napa cabbage, allowing it to wilt in the soup for 2-3 minutes.
  6. Season (2 minutes): Pour in the soy sauce, and if desired, chili flakes. Stir well to combine.
  7. Serve (5 minutes): Ladle the soup into bowls, garnishing with the green parts of the onions and optional fresh cilantro.

Notes

When using frozen potstickers, ensure you don’t overcook them to maintain their texture. If you have sesame seeds on hand, they make a great garnish, adding a nice little crunch. Pair this hearty soup with a side of steamed rice or a refreshing Asian cucumber salad to complete your meal. As always, adjust seasonings to suit your taste, and if you have other favorite Asian vegetables, feel free to toss them in!
