![]() ![]() I work from home, and I’ve had the leftovers many times for working lunches. The soup holds up nicely to microwaving, for office lunches. If this doesn’t bother you - and it doesn’t bother me - you can definitely make the soup ahead of time and stash it in the fridge. The potsticker wrappers will soften and may break down a little bit while they sit overnight in the broth. Yes! Can This Soup Be Made Ahead of Time? Until my eye accidentally landed on a jar of “Japanese sesame seasoning” at my Kroger in the J’s. Indeed, I would browse for “furikake” in every store I shopped (spices are normally displayed alphabetically), but no luck. This umami-bomb Japanese seasoning can be hard to find, depending on the local cuisine leanings of your region. Oh, and about furikake (Amazon affiliate link). Minced cilantro or Thai basil adds an interesting herbal twist. And a nice sprinkling of sesame seeds or furikake. Just a forkful will do it.ĭon’t forget a palmful of thinly sliced green onions. I’m also quite fond of using kimchi as a soup topping. It’s a natural topping for this soup, I think: A little spicy crunch with some nice chili oil vibes going on. I recently scored a jar of chili crisp (Amazon affiliate link) at my local Kroger, and I’ve been putting that stuff on everything. Here are some other vegetables that I’ve used successfully in Potsticker Soup: While I kept things pretty pared down with this recipe, using leeks, mushrooms, carrots, and baby bok choy, the sky is really the limit, although using just a few keeps the soup simple and the flavors clean. They will all work in the soup! Other Vegetables & Greens You Can Add to the Soup Whether you prefer pork or chicken, or a vegetarian option, it’s all good. So, when you’re trying to decide among the various brands and names, you can really just focus on their fillings. I’ve found that they’re easy to cut in half with your soup spoon against the side of the bowl as you eat. There will just be fewer of them in the soup pot. The large appetizer sizes work well, too. The minis are the perfect size to fit on a soup spoon. I’m not here to judge the authenticity of the potstickers you can buy at the grocery store, only to say that whatever you have available will very likely work in this soup.įor the photos in this post, I used Bibigo’s “Korean-Style Mini Wontons, Chicken & Vegetable Dumplings,” which come frozen in a 1.5 pound bag. But regardless, you’ll should be able to find a selection of some or all of them in the frozen food section of your grocery store, packaged in large 1.5 or 2 pound bags. To be clear, you might have fresh, authentic options available locally, if you’re lucky enough to have an Asian cuisine presence where you live. In the United States, however, potstickers, dumplings, wontons, and gyoza are often sold and packaged almost interchangeably at the supermarket. What Kind to Use in the Soup: Potstickers, Dumplings, Wontons, or Gyoza?Ĭulturally speaking, each of these options is unique, both in history and symbolism, as well as in composition (dumplings, for example, have a thicker, doughier wrapper). But for Potsticker Soup, we’re going to skip both and cook them directly in the soup from frozen. They’re then stuffed with a variety of fillings, from pork or chicken to cabbage to a chop of other vegetables. Potstickers are a type of Asian dumpling, with a thin wrapper that fries up delightfully in the pan. Or, for people like me who sometimes just don’t want to fuss over dinner, but still want something comforting and tasty.

It’s early fall as I write this and, while it’s far from the first soup I’ve had since spring, it is the first soup I cooked while feeling all the falls feels - overcast, chilly, dusk arriving suddenly very early in the evenings.
