Heat 2 tablespoons of sesame oil in a large pot over medium heat. Once the oil glistens, add 2 teaspoons of minced fresh ginger and 3 minced garlic cloves. Sauté them for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant and slightly golden.
Pour in 4 cups of low-sodium vegetable broth, followed by 3 tablespoons of low-sodium soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of rice vinegar, and optional chili garlic sauce. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Stir in 1 cup of sliced mushrooms. Reduce the heat to low and let simmer for 3-4 minutes, until tender.
Introduce 2 cups of chopped baby bok choy or spinach. Stir well and allow the greens to wilt for about 2-3 minutes.
Carefully add 12-16 frozen dumplings or potstickers to the soup. Simmer for 5-7 minutes until cooked through.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds. Serve hot.
