Scale
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 8 ounces shiitake mushrooms, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons grated or minced fresh ginger
- 4 cloves garlic, pressed or minced

Instructions
Sauté the Aromatics
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large stockpot over medium-high heat.
- Add the mushrooms and sauté, stirring occasionally, until browned (about 5 minutes).

Simmer the Broth

- Bring the broth to a boil.
- Add the frozen potstickers, half of the scallions, and bok choy. Stir to combine and let cook for 3-4 minutes or until the potstickers are fully heated through.
- Stir in the toasted sesame oil and season with freshly ground black pepper to taste. Adjust soy sauce or seasoning if needed.
Serve
- Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with the remaining scallions.
- Add optional toppings like chili crisp, sesame seeds, furikake, or fried garlic for extra flavor and crunch.
Notes
Mushroom Variety : Shiitake mushrooms add depth, but cremini or button mushrooms work as well.
Potsticker Options : Feel free to use vegetable, chicken, or pork potstickers depending on your preference.
Extra Heat : If you like spice, add a dash of sriracha or a spoonful of chili crisp.
Broth Boost : A splash of rice vinegar or a drizzle of hoisin sauce can enhance the broth’s complexity.
