Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Potstickers
-
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
-
Add frozen potstickers in a single layer and cook for 2–3 minutes until bottoms are golden.
-
Carefully add ¼ cup water, cover, and steam for 5 minutes.
-
Remove lid and cook another 1–2 minutes until water evaporates and potstickers crisp up.
-
Transfer to a plate and set aside.
Step 2: Stir Fry the Veggies
-
In the same skillet, add a bit more oil if needed.
-
Add garlic, ginger, and all chopped vegetables.
-
Stir fry for 4–5 minutes until tender-crisp.
Step 3: Make the Sauce
-
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, vinegar, honey, sesame oil, and cornstarch slurry.
-
Pour sauce over the vegetables and stir well to coat.
-
Simmer for 1–2 minutes until sauce thickens slightly.
Step 4: Combine & Finish
-
Add cooked potstickers back into the pan.
-
Gently toss everything to coat with sauce and heat through.
-
Remove from heat and garnish as desired.
Notes
Don’t Overcrowd the Pan – Cook potstickers in batches if needed for crispiness.
Use Pre-Cut Veggies – Save time with frozen or pre-chopped stir fry mixes.
Keep Heat High – Stir frying works best at high heat for crisp veggies.
Make it Spicy – Add chili garlic sauce or crushed red pepper for a kick.
Crisp Last – Let potstickers re-crisp after combining for best texture.
