Ingredients

12 oz frozen potstickers (pork, chicken, or veggie)
1 cup bell peppers, sliced (red and yellow)
2 cups broccoli florets
3 green onions, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
1 tbsp sesame oil
1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp water

Instructions

Step 1: Gather and chop all vegetables into bite-sized pieces.
Step 2: Heat sesame oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté garlic and green onions until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
Step 3: Add frozen potstickers in a single layer; cook until golden brown on one side, approximately 3-4 minutes, then flip to brown the other side.
Step 4: Toss in bell peppers and broccoli. Stir-fry until vegetables are tender-crisp, about 4-5 minutes.
Step 5: In a small bowl, combine soy sauce with the cornstarch and water mixture. Pour over the stir-fry and toss well to coat all ingredients.
Step 6: Cook for an additional minute until the sauce thickens slightly. Serve hot for best flavor and texture.

Tips & Variations

For extra heat, add a dash of chili flakes or sriracha when adding the sauce.
Use any variety of frozen potstickers to suit your preference, like shrimp or vegetable-based options.
Swap broccoli for snap peas or bok choy for a different vegetable twist.
Cook potstickers in batches if your skillet isn’t large enough to keep them in a single layer.

Storage

Store leftover stir fry in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat to keep the potstickers crispy, or microwave briefly if in a hurry. Avoid reheating multiple times to maintain texture and flavor.

How to Serve

A white bowl filled with several golden-brown fried dumplings spread over a mix of bright green broccoli florets, thinly sliced orange carrots, baby corn, and snap peas, all coated in a glossy dark sauce and sprinkled with white sesame seeds. The bowl sits on a wooden board, accompanied by two dark chopsticks resting inside the bowl at the right side and a wooden spatula with a smiley face cutout lying above the bowl. Off to the left is a small white bowl filled with sesame seeds, and a dark gray cloth is partially visible at the bottom left, all placed on a white marbled surface.
