Ingredients
- 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1/4 pound thick-sliced ham, diced
- 2 tablespoons dry sherry or Chinese rice wine
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 1-inch piece ginger, peeled and thinly sliced
- 4 3-inch strips orange zest
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- 2 scallions, sliced, white and green parts separated
- 1 cup sliced button mushrooms
- 2 medium carrots, thinly sliced
- 2 to 3 napa cabbage leaves, thinly sliced
- 24 frozen chicken or vegetable dumplings or pot stickers

Directions
Combine 2 cups water, the broth, ham, sherry, sugar, ginger, orange zest, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste in a large pot. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Add the scallion whites, mushrooms and carrots. Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, until the carrots are crisp-tender, about 4 minutes.

Very Good!!! So easy to make, I too read the reviews and took some of their advice. I added more napa cabbage and added one sauce packet provided with the potstickers.

I really liked this recipe. I changed it a bit. I used less sugar, only about a tsp based on other reviews. Instead of low sodium broth, I used low sodium ham and didn't add any salt to it. I also added pho rice noodles to it and some Asian basil. The flavor was very good and it tastes pretty authentic. My kids (7 and 9 didn't really like it which surprised me as I thought it was really good. I would definitely make it again if eating alone or if the kids changed their minds.

Made this tonight! It was excellent and easy and quick to make. Made it just like the recipe except I didn't have mushrooms and put a few slices of celery in. I grated the ginger so I didn't have to fish it out later.
