Ingredients
Scale
- 20 store-bought or homemade dumplings (potstickers)
- 4 cups chicken broth or vegetable broth

- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1-inch piece of ginger, grated
- 2 cups fresh spinach or bok choy, chopped
- 1 green onion, sliced

Instructions
- Prepare the Broth: In a large pot, combine broth with soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. Bring to a gentle simmer for about 5 minutes to meld flavors.
