Cooking Potstickers
- Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Place frozen potstickers in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crispy on the bottom.
- Add about 1/4 cup of water to the skillet, cover immediately, and steam for 5-7 minutes over medium heat until cooked through. Remove the lid, allow any remaining water to evaporate, and then transfer potstickers to a plate.
Prepare the Sauce
- While potstickers steam, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, Sriracha, and broth in a small bowl and whisk until the sugar dissolves. In a separate tiny bowl, mix cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water to create a slurry.
Stir-Fry Vegetables
- Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of sesame oil to the empty skillet. Sauté minced garlic and grated ginger for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add harder vegetables like broccoli and carrots and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes. Then, add softer vegetables like bell peppers and snap peas and continue to stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until all vegetables are crisp-tender.
Combine and Serve
- Return cooked potstickers to the skillet with the vegetables. Whisk the prepared sauce again, then pour it over the potstickers and vegetables, bringing it to a gentle simmer.
- Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats everything. Remove from heat and serve immediately, optionally garnished with rice, sesame seeds, green onions, or cilantro.
Notes
For extra flavor, marinate the fresh vegetables in a little soy sauce for 15 minutes before stir-frying. Adjust the amount of Sriracha or chili garlic sauce to your preferred spice level. If you don't have a lid for your skillet, you can use a baking sheet or foil to cover the potstickers while steaming.
