Broth and Sauce
- 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
Vegetables and Aromatics
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1-inch piece of fresh ginger, grated
- 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
- 1/2 cup shredded carrots
- 2 green onions, sliced
Garnishes (Optional)
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Instructions
- Cook potstickers: Pan-fry the potstickers according to package instructions until they are crispy and golden brown on the outside. Once cooked, set them aside to be used as a topping later.
- Cook noodles: Boil the noodles according to the package directions. Once cooked, drain well and set aside.
- Sauté aromatics: In a large pot, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing for 1-2 minutes until their aroma is released and fragrant.
- Cook vegetables: Add the sliced mushrooms and shredded carrots to the pot and sauté for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are softened but still retain some texture.
- Simmer broth: Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth, soy sauce, and rice vinegar. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for 5-7 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Combine noodles and broth: Add the cooked noodles into the simmering broth, stirring gently to heat through for 2-3 minutes, ensuring noodles absorb some flavor.
- Assemble bowls: Divide the noodle and broth mixture evenly into serving bowls. Top each bowl with the crispy potstickers, sliced green onions, sesame seeds, and fresh cilantro as desired.
- Add heat and serve: For those who enjoy spice, drizzle sriracha or chili oil over the bowls. Serve the noodle bowls hot for the best flavor experience.
