Preparation
  1. In a large pot, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and ginger, sautéing for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  2. Toss in the sliced mushrooms and cook for approximately 3-4 minutes until they start to soften.
  3. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  4. Stir in the soy sauce, followed by salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Gently add the potstickers to the simmering broth and cook according to package directions or until they are heated through, taking around 5-7 minutes.
  6. Stir in the chopped bok choy and let it simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes until it wilts.
  7. Remove from heat, garnish with chopped green onions and optional chili flakes, then serve hot!

Notes

To ensure your soup is perfect, avoid overcooking the bok choy; it should be tender but still bright green. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For freezer storage, avoid adding bok choy before freezing to maintain its crispness.
