Equipment

Instructions

- In a large pot over medium heat, bring the chicken broth to a gentle simmer.
- Add frozen potstickers directly to the simmering broth and cook according to package directions until tender.

Notes
Keep the broth at a gentle simmer so dumplings don’t break apart. Add sesame oil at the end to preserve its aroma. Taste and adjust seasoning just before serving for the best balance.
