Soup Season: Chick/pork/veg pot sticker Bok choy
Exact recipes can be found on-line, I never ever cook anything the same way twice... and never measure anything, but I think it was about 75 oz of stock, 12-14 pot stickers, about 14 baby bok choy, sliced in half and rinsed well, don't use shiitake stalks, raw garlic and ginger - no substitutes!

Cook 4-6 small/medium breasts on fully heated grill for 2:30 a side at :375-400F, take off, set aside; the soup will finish them off, don't overcook.
Warm up a 2+ gallon pot to 6/10, add peanut oil, wait til it starts to ripple
Put in sliced carrots (use mature ones for flavor, I don't skin) for 1:30; add fresh ground black pepper and tumeric right after carrots.
Flip, add shiitakes and peppers, cook 1:15, stir; add onions (if white, they go in ahead of shiitakes) another :90 seconds, flip, cook another :60 seconds
push it all off to the side, add a smidge of oil if needed, let it heat up a bit, then add finely sliced ginger, :25 seconds, turn, add garlic flip at :30 seconds, :20 more seconds
Turn heat to max, add the stock
when it gets to a soft boil, put in frozen pot sickers, when they rise to top or 2:30 min - which ever is first - toss in set aside breast, wait 1:30 min (make sure it never boils, then bok choy, scallions and sno peas, turn heat off after 2:15 min.
Stir, taste - add sweet, sour, savory to your taste, let sit for 3-4 min to settle. today I used 2 fresh habeneros and 1/2 a poblano sliced in half (no seeds) in the oil before anything else and cooked them til they were almost burnt and removed, and added a 1/2 teaspoon of the Dragonfly brand "super hot roasted chilli oil". Warning: don't add to the peanut oil w/o a gas mask on, its rough. It was warm, but not sweating hot. added soy, sweet pepper oil, It looks crappy after being in the fridge since lunch, so no pic.
