12–16 potstickers (fresh or thawed if frozen)
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 carrot, cut into matchsticks
1 cup snap peas or snow peas
2 green onions, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ inch ginger, minced
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp rice vinegar
½ tsp sesame oil
½ tsp honey or sugar
½ tsp cornstarch + 1 tbsp water (slurry)
Oil for cooking
Sesame seeds (optional)
Whisk sauce ingredients (except slurry) in a bowl; reserve.
Heat oil in skillet over medium-high. Place potstickers flat side down, fry 3–4 min until bottoms golden.
Add ¼ cup water, cover, steam 3–4 min, then uncover and crisp 1–2 min.
Push potstickers aside. Add garlic and ginger, stir 30 sec. Add veggies, stir-fry 2–3 min, then snap peas 1–2 min.
Pour sauce and slurry over everything, toss gently until sauce thickens, ~1–2 min.
Turn off heat, garnish with green onion and sesame seeds.
Use just enough water when steaming so potstickers don’t get soggy.
Crisp again after steaming for best texture.
Swap or add proteins (shrimp, tofu, chicken) if desired.
