Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Potsticker Stir Fry
  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon of cold water and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch until smooth to create a slurry. Then, add ¼ cup of reduced-sodium soy sauce, ¼ cup of rice wine vinegar, 1 tablespoon of sugar or honey, and 1 teaspoon of grated fresh ginger. Mix thoroughly until well combined and set aside for later use in your Potsticker Stir Fry.
  2. While the sauce rests, slice the mushrooms, broccoli, carrot, green beans, and onion as mentioned in the ingredient list. Aim for uniform sizes to ensure even cooking. Gather all your sliced vegetables in one place so they are ready to be sautéed when it's time to cook your delicious Potsticker Stir Fry.
  3. In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over medium heat. Once the oils shimmer, add the frozen potstickers in a single layer; cook for 3-4 minutes or until the bottoms turn golden brown. Carefully add ¼ cup of water, cover tightly, and steam for an additional 3-4 minutes until the potstickers are heated through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  4. Begin by adding the sliced mushrooms and diced onion to the skillet, sautéing for about 3-4 minutes until browned and fragrant. Use a spatula to stir occasionally for even cooking. Once done, remove them from the skillet and set aside. Next, add the broccoli florets to the pan with a drizzle of sesame oil, cooking for about 3-4 minutes until they are tender yet crisp.
  5. In the same skillet, add the sliced green beans and carrot. Sauté these for another 3-4 minutes until they're just tender and vibrant. This step helps to retain their freshness and snap, adding a delightful texture to your Potsticker Stir Fry. Once cooked, remove and set them aside along with the other vegetables.
  6. Return all the cooked vegetables to the skillet along with the potstickers. Pour the prepared sauce over everything and stir well to ensure everything is evenly coated. Cook together for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and caramelize slightly. Once heated through, serve hot, garnished with sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Enjoy your vibrant Potsticker Stir Fry!
