Scale
Broth Ingredients
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 2 inches fresh ginger, sliced
- 3 garlic cloves, smashed
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (natural)
- 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 1 tablespoon natural soy sauce (natural)
Dumplings & Proteins
- 12 potstickers (chicken, shrimp, vegetable, or tofu filled)
Vegetables & Herbs
- 1 cup sliced carrots
- 2 cups chopped bok choy
- 2 Thai chili peppers, sliced (adjust to taste)
- 3 green onions, sliced
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
Finishing Touches
- 1 teaspoon natural sesame oil (natural)
- Optional: wedge of lime for serving
- Optional: roasted peanuts, natural chili oil for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Broth: In a large pot, combine the vegetable broth, fresh ginger slices, garlic cloves, apple cider vinegar (natural), vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), and natural soy sauce (natural). Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat and let it cook for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld beautifully.
- Cook the Potstickers: Add the potstickers to the simmering broth. Cook until the dumplings are tender and thoroughly heated through, about 5 to 7 minutes depending on whether they are fresh or frozen.
- Add Fresh Vegetables: Stir in the sliced carrots, chopped bok choy, and sliced Thai chili peppers. Cook for an additional 3 to 4 minutes, allowing the vegetables to become just tender while retaining their vibrant color and crispness.
- Finish With Flavor Enhancers: Turn off the heat and add a splash of natural sesame oil (natural). Stir in the chopped green onions and fresh cilantro to create a fresh Thai finish.
Notes
- Choose fresh herbs like cilantro and green onions for the best aroma and flavor.
- Add Thai chili peppers gradually to control the heat level.
- Avoid overcooking potstickers to keep their texture tender but not mushy.
- Allow broth to simmer gently to develop complex flavors.
- If thicker broth is desired, stir in a small amount of natural gelling agent mixed with water.
