Ingredients
- 24 ounces fully cooked frozen chicken or pork potstickers

- 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
- 6 green onions sliced and divided
- 3 ounces enoki mushrooms ends trimmed (optional)

Instructions
-
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the baby bella mushrooms and sauté for 4–6 minutes, or until golden brown.
-
Add the remaining ½ tablespoon olive oil, garlic, and ginger. Sauté for about 1 minute, stirring frequently, until fragrant.
-
Add the chicken broth, water, soy sauce, fish sauce, and toasted sesame oil. Bring to a boil. Taste the broth and season with salt and pepper as needed.
-
Reduce the heat to a simmer. Add the frozen potstickers and two-thirds of the sliced green onions. Simmer for 3 minutes.
-
If using, add the enoki mushrooms and cook for 1–2 minutes more, or until the potstickers are heated through and the mushrooms are tender.
-
Serve immediately with remaining green onions for garnish.
Recipe Notes
Store leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3–4 days.
Tip: To reduce the sodium, consider using a reduced-sodium chicken broth and low-sodium soy sauce.
Want additional add-ins or something other than mushrooms? Here are some options:
- Napa cabbage or shredded cabbage: Use about 2–3 cups chopped or shredded and add it to the broth for several minutes before the potstickers.
- Baby spinach: Add about 3–4 cups during the final 1–2 minutes.
- Bok choy: Add 2–3 cups chopped bok choy. Add the stems with the potstickers and the leafy portions during the last couple of minutes of cooking.
