Ingredients
Scale
Potstickers and Noodles
- 12 potstickers (store-bought or homemade)
- 8 ounces egg noodles (or any noodle of choice)
Broth and Sauce
- 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
Vegetables and Aromatics
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1-inch piece of fresh ginger, grated
- 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
- 1/2 cup shredded carrots
- 2 green onions, sliced
Optional Garnishes
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- Fresh cilantro
- Sriracha or chili oil
Instructions
- Cook the potstickers: Follow package instructions to pan-fry the potstickers until they are crispy and golden brown. Once cooked, remove from the pan and set aside.
- Prepare the noodles: Cook the egg noodles according to package directions. Drain thoroughly and set aside.
- Sauté aromatics: In a large pot, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not burnt to release their aroma.
- Cook vegetables: Add the sliced mushrooms and shredded carrots to the pot, sautéing for 3-4 minutes until they become tender and release their flavors.
- Add liquids and simmer: Pour in the broth along with soy sauce and rice vinegar. Bring the mixture to a simmer and allow it to cook for 5-7 minutes to meld all the flavors.
- Combine noodles and broth: Add the cooked noodles into the broth and stir for 2-3 minutes to ensure they absorb the vibrant broth flavors and heat through properly.
- Assemble the bowls: Divide the noodle soup evenly into serving bowls. Top each bowl with the crispy potstickers, sliced green onions, sesame seeds, and fresh cilantro.
- Add heat and serve: Drizzle sriracha or chili oil on top as desired for a spicy kick and serve immediately while hot.
