Grow Sprouts Indoors for A Nutritious Crunch All Year Long!

I grow my own sprouts all year long on my kitchen counters… and believe me, it couldn’t be easier! All you need are some sprouting seeds (I like these alfalfa seeds, and these bean sprouts), wide-mouth mason jars, sprouting lids, and some tap water.

An endless supply of sprouts will be at your culinary fingertips anytime. I love grabbing a handful of alfalfa sprouts to add to a sandwich or a wrap, or adding a handful of bean sprouts to stir fries or ramen soup.

What’s In This Vegan Potsticker Soup Recipe?

See the recipe card below for full ingredient amounts and recipe instructions!

  • Potstickers: I used frozen vegan potstickers (Trader Joe’s has an amazing vegetable gyoza!), but you can use homemade or fresh pre-made dumplings too. If you are gluten free, you can use a gluten free version and it will taste just as amazing.
  • Vegetable Stock or Bouillon: I love this no salt vegetable base for my recipes because it has a great flavor and is lower in sodium.
  • Carrot, freshly shredded
  • Ginger: freshly grated
  • Tamari: tamari is a gluten-free version of soy sauce. Tamari has a bright salty flavor, and adds a really nice depth of umami to this dish. If I am cooking for a crowd, I always use this tamari in my recipes just in case anyone at the table has a gluten allergy, so everyone can enjoy this meal.
  • Fresh garlic cloves
  • Bean Sprouts: I’ve been sprouting my own in my countertop lately, and I try to throw a handful of sprouts in everything.
  • Other add-ins (optional) if you have any water chestnuts or these great cans of baby corn on hand, this would be a great dish to add them into! Or add fresh or frozen pea pods, peppers, or green onion for extra fresh flavor!

Use Frozen Pot Stickers For Quick Meal Prep!

I used frozen potstickers for this recipe instead of making them from scratch. This is a great way to transform boring frozen dumplings into a bright and tasty dish the whole family can enjoy. By using freezer ingredients, I can stock up when they are on sale, and use them in all kinds of great dishes.

It saves me a trip to the store and I can have pre-made pot stickers thawed in no time. Check out all my recipes that use Freezer Ingredients on The Herbeevore – great for those nights when you want dinner ready fast! And check out my Top 125 Plant-Based Pantry Staples that always keep on hand.

Another great thing about this soup is that is a super budget-friendly recipe, and is inexpensive to make. I can sometimes find bags of pot stickers for $1 at the store, so I stock up my freezer.

How Do I Make This Vegan Pot Sticker Soup Recipe?

  1. Cook potstickers according to package instructions. Set aside.
  2. In a medium pot, heat the vegetable stock until boiling. Add the carrots, ginger, soy sauce/tamari, garlic, and bean sprouts. Stir and cook for 2 or 3 minutes until the sprouts begin to soften.
  3. Divide the pot stickers evenly among 2 bowls, and ladle soup broth over them. Enjoy!

FAQs

How do you make dumplings taste better? ›

A teaspoon of sugar adds an extremely subtle hint of sweetness. It also helps the dumplings retain their moisture through the cooking process and slows gluten development, which ensures tender dumplings. A pinch of salt seasons the dumplings and enhances the flavors of the other ingredients.

How do you make frozen potstickers crispy? ›

Essentially, you fry the frozen dumplings, then add water to the pan and cover them to steam through, then fry them again once the water evaporates. This double-frying creates an extra-crisp bottom crust.

Is there a difference between potstickers and dumplings? ›

Potstickers are always dumplings, but not all dumplings are potstickers. The biggest difference between these two are how they are cooked, but the cooking method has also changed the kinds of ingredients and preparation of both potstickers and dumplings over time. Potstickers are dumplings that are also pan-fried.

What to eat with soup dumplings? ›

Moments like this definitely call for side dishes and dipping sauces for the soup dumplings as part of your first of multiple courses. They can be a great introductory course to steamed fish, noodles, mapo tofu, garlic green beans, and just about anything else you'd want on a menu to show off your dinner party skills.

What vegetable goes with potstickers? ›

Customize based on what's in your fridge--carrots, broccoli and mushrooms are all great choices. Keep it vegetarian with vegetable potstickers or try shrimp or chicken for some additional protein.

Can you overcook potstickers? ›

Add roughly three tablespoons of water to the pan or wok.

The steam created by the water will cook the dumplings all the way through. Using a lid that doesn't let any air out is important--if steam escapes, the pot stickers will take longer to cook or may overcook and become gooey.

Do you boil potstickers before frying them? ›

They can be boiled, steamed or deep fried, but the name comes from a combination cooking method where they are browned by pan-frying AFTER the noodle is cooked by steaming or boiling.

How long should potstickers be cooked for? ›

In a nonstick pan over medium-high heat, add ½ cup of water and 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Place the frozen potstickers flat side-down and cover the pan with a lid for 8 to 12 minutes, until all the water has evaporated and the flat side of each potsticker is golden.

How to make frozen soup dumplings? ›

Place the frozen dumplings in the pan and let them cook for about 2-3 minutes until the bottoms turn golden brown. Then, add some water to the pan (enough to cover the bottom) and cover it with a lid to steam for another 6-8 minutes until the dumplings are fully cooked.

Do you thaw frozen dumplings before cooking? ›

Before cooking dumplings that have been frozen, partially thaw them by letting them sit on the counter for 10 to 15 minutes—the amount of time it takes to make dipping sauce and/or get the steamer going.

Can you eat thawed frozen dumplings? ›

Is it safe to eat dumplings or buns that came partially thawed when I opened the package? Unfortunately, no. We do not recommend eating your dumplings or buns if they were not frozen upon your unboxing. Dumplings and buns come partially cooked and might not be safe to consume if partially thawed and refrozen.

How do you add flavor to frozen dumplings? ›

Dumplings in alfredo sauce: Alfredo sauce is an easy way to elevate frozen dumplings. Treat them like pasta and cook them in the simmering sauce; sliced onion, chopped garlic, or bacon are all good additions for extra flavor. If you don't have jarred sauce on hand, milk or heavy cream can be a quick fix.

What is the best way to cook frozen dumplings? ›

Heat a pan on medium-high with a couple tablespoons of oil in it. Once hot, add your frozen dumplings. Cook in oil for about three to four minutes, turning once to sear multiple sides. Then add just enough water to cover dumplings about halfway, turn the heat down to medium-low, and cover with a tight-fitting lid.

What oil is best for frozen potstickers? ›

The best oil for deep frying frozen potstickers is one with a high smoke point, such as vegetable oil, canola oil, or peanut oil. These oils can withstand the high heat required for deep frying without burning or imparting a strong flavor to the potstickers.
