Notes

If you're short on time, you can make a quick version of this recipe by buying potstickers at the store. Then, you can heat them up while the broth is simmering. You can then add them to the broth. Alternatively, you can boil the potstickers in the broth while they're cooking and you can add them afterward. The quick pot option will make the soup much quicker, and will be less filling than a traditional version.

• 1/2 cup of sliced green onions
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon of freshly grated ginger

Tips for making Japanese Pot Sticker Soup

Cooking Tips

• Use Quality Pot Stickers: The quality of your pot stickers or dumplings makes a significant difference in the overall flavor of your soup. Opt for high-quality, authentic Asian pot stickers for the best results.
• Brown the Meat Well: When cooking the ground pork or turkey, ensure it’s browned well. This step enhances the depth of flavor in your soup.
• Don’t Overcrowd the Slow Cooker: If you’re using the slow cooker method, avoid overcrowding the cooker. It’s essential to give the ingredients room to simmer and meld their flavors together.
• Adjust Spice Levels: The level of spice can vary depending on personal preferences. Adjust the amount of chili garlic sauce to achieve your desired level of heat.
• Fresh Garnishes: To brighten up your soup, use fresh garnishes like sliced green onions, cilantro, or a squeeze of fresh lime. These add a burst of flavor and freshness.

Serving Suggestions

• Sides: Serve the soup with a side of steamed jasmine rice or a light cucumber salad for a satisfying meal.
• Garnishes: Garnish each bowl with a generous sprinkle of chopped fresh cilantro, sliced green onions, and a drizzle of toasted sesame oil.
• Beverages: Pair your pot sticker soup with a cold Japanese green tea or a light lager beer for a refreshing contrast to the savory flavors.
• Fresh Lime: Provide lime wedges at the table. Squeezing a bit of fresh lime juice into your bowl adds a zesty kick.
• Sriracha Sauce: For those who love extra heat, offer a side of sriracha sauce to drizzle on top.
