Instructions
1. Heat the vegetable or olive oil in a 4-quart Dutch oven or soup pot over medium heat until the oil shimmers.

3. Add the soy sauce, broth (and water if using) and sesame oil. Increase heat and bring the soup to a light boil, stirring frequently.
4. If using, stir in the Better Than Bouillon paste until completely dissolved.
5. Carefully add the frozen potstickers to the pot, and cook according to the boil instructions on the packaging (usually just a few minutes).
