Deliciously Unique Potsticker Stir-Fry

What sets this Potsticker Stir-Fry apart is its irresistible blend of textures and flavors—golden dumplings mingle with crisp, tender vegetables and a rich, garlicky sauce. It’s a crowd-pleaser, bringing together the comfort of dumplings and the freshness of stir-fried veggies, making it a balanced and complete meal that everyone at your table will love.

Mastering the Stir-Fry Sauce

The sauce is the heart of this dish, uniting savory soy, sweet hoisin, and sesame flavors with a gentle kick of ginger and garlic. Simply stir together soy sauce, hoisin sauce, a splash of rice vinegar, and a drizzle of toasted sesame oil. For a little heat, add a dab of chili garlic sauce. Whisk well and have the sauce ready before you begin stir-frying, so you can toss everything together at the perfect moment.

Building Flavor with Potstickers and Veggies

For ultimate flavor, sear the potstickers until golden and crisp, then set them aside while you quickly sauté a rainbow of veggies—think bell peppers, snap peas, carrots, or bok choy. Once the vegetables are just tender, return the potstickers to the pan and toss with the sauce, allowing the flavors to mingle and caramelize slightly for a takeout-style finish.

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, water, and chili garlic sauce (if using). Set aside.
2. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Arrange potstickers in a single layer and cook until bottoms are golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.
3. Add 1/4 cup water to the skillet. Cover and steam potstickers for 3-4 minutes, or until water evaporates and potstickers are heated through. Remove potstickers to a plate and keep warm.
4. In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil. Add the vegetables and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until just tender. Add the garlic and ginger; cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
5. Return the potstickers to the skillet and pour in the prepared sauce. Toss everything together and cook for 1-2 minutes more, ensuring potstickers and vegetables are well coated and heated through.
