Notes
- You can substitute the potstickers with fresh ones if preferred; adjust cooking time accordingly.
- Vegetable broth can be used for a vegetarian version; ensure potstickers are also vegetarian-friendly.
- Add a splash of rice vinegar or a sprinkle of chili flakes for additional flavor and heat.
- This soup is best enjoyed fresh but can be refrigerated and reheated gently on the stovetop.
- Adjust soy sauce to control the sodium level to your preference.
