20-Minute Potstickers in Garlic Broth
20-Minute Potstickers in Garlic Broth is an easy and quick way to satisfy your Asian food cravings. Frozen potstickers meet a garlicky, gingery spicy broth and are topped with fresh herbs to create a delicious and belly-warming soup. Maybe it’s a main course. Maybe it’s a side…hmmmm.
When my kids were little, I used to make frozen chicken potstickers from Costco frequently for them. Dipping the potstickers into that yummy soy-based sauce was exactly what we all loved. This is reminiscent except I would say that Trader Joe’s has better frozen potstickers, imho, and the potstickers swim in this lovely broth. Give it a try for an easy meal!
Begin by sautéing the butter, sesame oil, scallions, red curry paste, garlic, ginger and chili flakes until the oil is sizzling and the spices are fragrant.
Lower the heat and add the peanuts, sesame seeds, and soy sauce. Follow that by adding the broth, basil and cilantro. Simmer for a few minutes.
Cook the potstickers according to the package directions, drain and then toss them with the broth.
Serve with fresh basil and scallions. Enjoy!
