Ingredients

Scale

For the Stir Fry

  • 1 package Frozen Potstickers/Gyoza
  • 1/4 cup Water for steaming
  • 8 oz White Button Mushrooms (or shiitake/baby bella)
  • 2 cups Broccoli Florets
  • 1 cup Green Beans (or asparagus/sugar snap peas)
  • 1 large Carrot, shredded
  • 1 medium Onion (red onion is a good alternative)

For the Sauce

  • 1 tbsp Sesame Oil (or vegetable/olive oil)
  • 1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil (or avocado oil)
  • 3 tbsp Soy Sauce (Reduced-Sodium or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 tbsp Rice Wine Vinegar (or apple cider vinegar)
  • 1 tbsp Sugar or Honey (or agave syrup)
  • 1 tsp Fresh Ginger, grated (or ground ginger)
  • 1 tbsp Cornstarch (or arrowroot powder)
  • 2 tbsp Cold Water (for slurry)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of cold water and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch until smooth. Then add 3 tablespoons of reduced-sodium soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of rice wine vinegar, 1 tablespoon of sugar or honey, and 1 teaspoon of freshly grated ginger. Mix well and set aside to thicken.
  2. Chop Vegetables: Chop broccoli, carrot, white button mushrooms, green beans, and onion into bite-sized pieces to ensure even cooking and quick stir fry time.
  3. Cook Potstickers: Heat 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil and 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add frozen potstickers and cook for 3-4 minutes until golden brown on the bottom. Add 1/4 cup water, cover the skillet, and steam the potstickers for 3-4 minutes until fully cooked. Remove potstickers from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
  4. Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, add onions and mushrooms and sauté for 3-4 minutes until tender. Then add broccoli and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes. Finally, add the green beans and shredded carrots and cook for another 3-4 minutes until vegetables remain crisp-tender.
  5. Combine and Finish: Return the cooked potstickers to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour the prepared sauce over the ingredients and toss everything together. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the potstickers and vegetables well.
  6. Serve: Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions if desired. Serve alongside steamed rice or quinoa for a complete meal.

Notes

  • Customize the vegetable mix and sauce ingredients to suit your taste or what you have available.
  • Ensure vegetables are cut into uniform pieces to cook evenly and quickly in the stir fry.
  • Use tamari for a gluten-free alternative to soy sauce.
  • For a vegan version, substitute honey with agave syrup or sugar.
  • Make sure not to overcrowd the skillet to achieve proper sautéing and browning of potstickers.
