Frequently Asked Questions

Can I add the potstickers at the beginning?

It's best to add them during the final 10–15 minutes to prevent them from becoming overly soft or falling apart.

What kind of potstickers work best?

Chicken, pork, shrimp, or vegetable potstickers all work beautifully.

Can I make this ahead?

Yes. The broth can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated. Add potstickers and spinach when reheating.

Is this soup freezer-friendly?

The broth freezes very well. For the best texture, add fresh potstickers when serving.

Can I use fresh ginger instead of ground ginger?

Absolutely. Use 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger for even more flavor.
