Notes

Use high-quality broth for richer flavor.
Don’t overcook the potstickers — simmer gently so they stay tender.
Add protein like tofu, shrimp, or shredded chicken for a heartier meal.
For spice lovers, drizzle chili oil or add extra ginger.
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat gently.
