Ingredients
  

For the Soup
  • 12 pieces Potstickers (homemade or frozen) Use your choice of potstickers.
  • 4 cups Chicken or Vegetable Broth Use good quality broth for better flavor.
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh Ginger (minced)
  • 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
  • 1 can Coconut Milk Warm gently to avoid curdling.
  • 2 tablespoons Soy Sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Lime Juice Add at the end for bright flavor.
  • 1/4 cup Cilantro (chopped) Can be substituted with Thai basil or spinach.
  • 1/4 cup Green Onions (sliced)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Heat a medium pot over medium heat. Add a splash of oil if your potstickers are raw and need frying first.
  2. Add minced ginger and garlic. Cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Pour in the 4 cups broth and bring to a gentle boil.
  4. Add the potstickers to the boiling broth. If frozen, add a minute or two extra. Cook until they float and are heated through (about 5–7 minutes).
  5. Lower the heat to low. Stir in the can of coconut milk, soy sauce, and lime juice. Warm gently, do not boil hard.
  6. Taste and adjust salt or lime as needed.
  7. Turn off the heat and stir in chopped cilantro and sliced green onions. Serve hot.

Notes

Cool the soup to room temperature within two hours. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 2–3 days. Reheat on low heat and stir so the coconut blends back in. For longer storage, freeze the broth without potstickers for up to 2 months.
