  • Add frozen potstickers to the broth. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 7 minutes.
  • Add cabbage, carrot and pea pods. Simmer for 2-3 more minutes.
  • Open the packets of dipping sauce and add the sauce to the soup along with chopped cooked chicken (if using), soy sauce, rice vinegar, five spice powder (if using) and pepper. Remove from the heat. Mix well. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Stir in sliced green onions.
