# Method:
01 -
Heat up some oil in a big stockpot over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and let them cook until they’re nice and brown, stirring every now and then. When they’re golden, pour in another tablespoon of oil and stir in the ginger and garlic. Let that combo cook for a minute or two until you can really smell it.
02 -
Add the broth and soy sauce to the pot. Stir it up, get it boiling, and then drop in the frozen potstickers, bok choy, and half the scallions. Let everything cook together for about 3-4 minutes until the potstickers are warmed through.
03 -
Remove the pot from heat. Stir in your sesame oil and a few twists of black pepper. Take a taste and see if it needs more soy sauce or seasoning. Serve up the soup into bowls, sprinkle on the rest of your scallions, and add any of your favorite toppings.
