Serving and Storage Tips
Serving Suggestions
This 10 Minute Gyoza Soup pairs wonderfully with some crusty bread or crispy wontons on the side for dunking. You can also serve it with a simple salad for a balanced meal!
Storage
Store any leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Just keep in mind that gyoza may soak up some of the broth as it sits, so add extra broth or water when reheating.
Reheating Instructions
To reheat, simply transfer it back to a pot over medium heat and stir until warmed through. You can also microwave it, but stir halfway through to make sure it heats evenly.
Freezer Friendly
Yes! You can freeze this soup for up to 3 months. But I’d recommend freezing the gyoza separately to keep things nice and fresh. When you’re ready, just thaw and reheat!
And there you have it a delicious 10 Minute Gyoza Soup that’s perfect for busy families! I can’t wait for you to try it and feel the love it brings to your dinner table. Enjoy! Follow us on Pinterest for daily recipes inspiration that brings warmth to your table!
