Creating Potsticker Soup is straightforward when you follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare the Filling: In a large bowl, combine ground pork (or chicken), chopped cabbage, grated carrots, green onions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Mix well and season with salt and pepper.
2. Form the Potstickers: Take a potsticker wrapper, place about 1 tablespoon of the filling in the center, and fold the wrapper over. Seal the edges by pinching them together. Repeat with the remaining filling and wrappers.
3. Cook the Potstickers: In a large pot, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the potstickers in batches, cooking until they are golden brown on the bottom (about 3-4 minutes).
4. Add the Broth and Water: Once the potstickers are browned, add the chicken or vegetable broth and water to the pot. Stir gently to avoid breaking the potstickers.
5. Simmer: Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce to low and let it cook for about 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
6. Thicken the Soup (Optional): If you prefer a thicker broth, mix cornstarch with a little water to form a slurry and stir it into the soup. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
7. Adjust Seasoning: Taste the soup and adjust the salt and pepper as needed.
8. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls, making sure each bowl includes potstickers. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.

With these steps, you’re all set to create an amazing bowl of Potsticker Soup!
