Cuisine: Asian
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 package frozen potstickers
- 2 cups mixed vegetables
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
- 1 tablespoon green onions, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by washing and chopping vegetables. Mince garlic and ginger, and chop green onions.
- Heat sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Allow the oil to become hot but not smoking.
- Add minced garlic and ginger to the hot oil, stirring quickly to prevent burning. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add frozen potstickers to the skillet, arranging them in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottom starts to turn golden brown.
- Pour in 1/4 cup water and immediately cover the skillet to steam the potstickers. Cook for 3-4 minutes until potstickers are heated through.
- Add mixed vegetables to the skillet, stirring to combine with potstickers. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
- Drizzle soy sauce over the entire mixture, tossing gently to ensure even coating.
- Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions.
- Serve hot directly from the skillet, ensuring each serving has a mix of potstickers and vegetables.
Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time, wash and chop your vegetables in advance. Store them in the fridge until you're ready to cook.
- Choose Your Veggies: Feel free to mix and match your favorite vegetables! Bell peppers, snap peas, or broccoli work wonderfully in this stir fry.
- Don’t Rush the Garlic and Ginger: Sautéing the garlic and ginger until fragrant enhances the dish's flavor, so keep an eye on them to avoid burning.
- Steam with Care: When adding water to steam the potstickers, be sure to cover the skillet immediately to trap the steam effectively.
- Adjust the Sauce: If you prefer a bolder flavor, add more soy sauce or a splash of your favorite hot sauce for an extra kick.
- Serve Fresh: This dish is best enjoyed fresh off the stove. Serve it hot and watch it disappear!
