Instructions
- Prepare the broth: In a large pot, combine chicken broth, water, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, grated ginger, and minced garlic to create a flavorful base for the soup.

- Add vegetables: Stir in the sliced shiitake mushrooms, shredded cabbage, and julienned carrot to the pot, adding texture and nutrition.
- Simmer vegetables: Reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the vegetables to become tender.
- Add potstickers: Gently add the frozen potstickers to the simmering soup, making sure they don’t stick together or to the pot.
- Cook potstickers: Continue simmering for an additional 8-10 minutes until the potstickers are fully cooked and heated through.
- Stir gently: Occasionally stir the soup carefully to prevent potstickers from sticking to the bottom of the pot, keeping them intact.
- Adjust seasoning: Taste the soup and add more soy sauce or rice vinegar if needed to balance the flavors to your preference.
- Serve hot: Ladle the steaming potsticker soup into bowls, ensuring each serving has a mix of broth, vegetables, and potstickers.

Notes
- Use frozen potstickers directly without thawing for convenience and best texture.
- Adjust soy sauce and vinegar quantities to balance saltiness and tanginess to your liking.
- Feel free to add other vegetables like green onions or bok choy for variation.
- For a vegetarian version, substitute chicken broth with vegetable broth and use vegetable-based potstickers.
