Description

Juicy dumplings meet crisp vegetables in a savory garlic‑ginger soy glaze—all in one skillet and ready in under 30 minutes. This pork-free Potsticker Stir Fry delivers the flavors of takeout with a healthier twist.


Ingredients

  • 1 package frozen chicken, vegetable, or tofu potstickers (about 1215 dumplings)
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil, divided
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 cup snow peas
  • 1 cup carrots, julienned
  • 3 green onions, sliced (white and green parts separated)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
  • ⅓ cup low‑sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey or brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)


Instructions

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a large nonstick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add frozen potstickers flat side down and cook for 2–3 minutes until golden and crisp on the bottom.
  2. Add ¼ cup water to the skillet, cover, and steam for 5–6 minutes until the potstickers are cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon sesame oil. Add broccoli, carrots, and snow peas. Stir fry for 3–4 minutes until tender-crisp.
  4. Add garlic, ginger, and the white parts of green onions. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Whisk together soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, honey or brown sugar, and chili flakes. Pour into skillet and toss to coat vegetables.
  6. Return potstickers to skillet. Stir gently and simmer for 2 minutes to absorb sauce.
  7. Garnish with green onion tops and sesame seeds before serving.

Notes

  • Use gluten-free potstickers and tamari for a gluten-free version.
  • Fresh potstickers can be used; reduce steaming time accordingly.
  • Leftovers store well in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Skillet reheating gives best texture; microwave works for convenience.
