Allow me to introduce you to my new favourite meal for that moment when you’re like, “I just got home from a tough workout, and I need dinner STAT, and it’s gotta be a real meal and not cereal again”: Potsticker Soup.
I usually pan-fry potstickers, but that can take a while. Also, the pan is a pain to clean, and it makes the whole house smell saucy for a long time afterwards.
I found this potsticker soup recipe online. The original recipe was for wonton soup using frozen pre-made wontons, but I happened to have a bag of potstickers on hand. I say that like it was random, but it certainly wasn’t. You can make your potstickers if you want them authentic.
