FAQs

Can I make this soup ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the broth and cook the potstickers separately. Store them in the fridge and combine them just before reheating to keep the dumplings tender.

How should leftovers be stored?
Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on the stove to avoid overcooking the dumplings.
