Ingredients
  

Gyoza soup broth and toppings
  • 22 gyoza/potsticker dumplings Frozen or fresh, about 20–24.
  • 2 cup bok choy Chopped.
  • 1 cup shiitake mushrooms Sliced.
  • 4 green onions Sliced.
  • 4 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp mirin
  • 1 tsp rice vinegar
  • 2 garlic Minced (2 cloves).
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger Grated.
  • 1 chili oil and sesame seeds For serving.
  • 1 salt To taste.

Equipment

  • 1 Dutch oven

Method
 

Simmer the broth
  1. Bring the chicken broth to a gentle simmer in a large pot, then stir in the garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, mirin, and rice vinegar.
  2. Keep the broth at a simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until the flavors meld and the broth turns lightly golden.
Cook the vegetables and dumplings
  1. Add the sliced shiitake mushrooms and simmer for 3–4 minutes, until tender and fragrant.
  2. Add the gyoza directly to the simmering broth and cook according to package directions (usually 5–7 minutes) until cooked through.
  3. Add the chopped bok choy and cook for 2–3 minutes, just until wilted.
Finish and serve
  1. Stir in the sesame oil, then taste and season with salt to balance the broth.
  2. Serve hot, topped with sliced green onions, sesame seeds, and chili oil.

Notes

Pro tip: keep the broth at a gentle simmer once the gyoza are in—too vigorous a boil can loosen dumplings. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator up to 3 days; reheat gently on the stove. Freezing is not recommended because the dumplings and bok choy can soften. Dietary swap: for a gluten-free version, use gluten-free soy sauce and confirm your gyoza wrappers are gluten-free.
