Protein
- 12 store-bought or homemade potstickers
Noodles
- 6 oz Asian-style noodles (ramen, udon, or rice noodles)
Vegetables
- 1 cup broccoli florets, fresh
- 1/2 cup shredded carrots
- 2 sliced green onions
Sauce & Seasoning
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 clove garlic, freshly minced
- 1 tsp fresh ginger, minced
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar or lime juice
- Optional: 1/2 tsp chili flakes or 1 tsp sriracha (adjust to taste)
Optional Garnishes
- Toasted sesame seeds
- Fresh cilantro or Thai basil
- Cook the Potstickers: Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat with a little oil. Arrange the potstickers in a single layer, then add about 1/4 cup water and cover immediately. Let steam until the water evaporates, then uncover and fry the potstickers until their bottoms turn golden brown and crisp.
- Prepare the Noodles: Cook your chosen noodles according to the package instructions until tender but still firm. Drain well and set aside to avoid sogginess.
- Sauté the Vegetables: In a separate pan, heat sesame oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and ginger, sautéing briefly until fragrant. Toss in broccoli florets and shredded carrots, cooking quickly until they become crisp-tender.
- Mix the Sauce: In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, rice vinegar or lime juice, and chili flakes or sriracha if using. Adjust the sauce to balance saltiness, acidity, and spice according to your taste.
- Assemble the Bowl: Place the cooked noodles in serving bowls. Top with the sautéed vegetables and crispy potstickers. Drizzle the prepared sauce evenly over the bowls. Garnish with sliced green onions, toasted sesame seeds, and fresh herbs if desired.
Notes
- Don’t overcrowd the pan when frying potstickers—cook in batches for best crispiness.
- Use fresh garlic and ginger to effectively elevate flavor.
- Drain noodles thoroughly before assembling to prevent sogginess.
- Customize your sauce by tasting and adjusting salt, acidity, and spice levels.
- Add texture by garnishing with toasted sesame seeds or crunchy peanuts.
