For the Soup
  • 4 cups Chicken or Vegetable Broth
  • 1 can Coconut Milk Use thicker coconut milk for a richer flavor.

  • 1/4 cup Cilantro (chopped) For garnish.
  • 1/4 cup Green Onions (sliced) For garnish.

  2. Add a little oil and sauté the minced ginger and garlic for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Pour in the broth and bring to a gentle simmer.
  4. Stir in the coconut milk and soy sauce. Taste and adjust salt or soy sauce if needed.
Cooking
  1. Add the potstickers to the simmering soup. Cook until they float and are heated through.
  2. Turn off the heat and stir in fresh lime juice.
