Method

Directions

In a large pot, heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over medium heat. Allow the oil to shimmer, indicating it’s hot enough, which should take about 1 minute.
Add 1 tablespoon of minced ginger and 2 cloves of minced garlic to the pot. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and slightly golden.
Pour in 4 cups of low-sodium vegetable broth, followed by 2 tablespoons of low-sodium soy sauce and 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar. Bring to a gentle boil.
Once at a soft boil, gently stir in 1 cup of sliced mushrooms and simmer for 3-4 minutes.
Add 2 cups of chopped baby bok choy or spinach. Simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Gently introduce 12-16 frozen dumplings or potstickers into the broth and simmer for 5-7 minutes.
Ladle the soup into bowls and finish with a sprinkle of chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds.
