Method
- In a small bowl, whisk together cold water and cornstarch to create a slurry with no lumps. Add soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, sugar or honey, and grated ginger. Whisk until well combined and set aside.
- Slice the carrot thinly on a bias. Slice the mushrooms and cut green beans into thirds. Cut the broccoli into small florets. Dice the onion small.
- Heat olive oil and sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add frozen potstickers in a single layer. Fry until the bottoms turn golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons of water, cover immediately, and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes. Remove potstickers from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add sliced mushrooms and diced onion. Cook until mushrooms are browned and have released their moisture, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Add 1 teaspoon of sesame oil to the skillet. Add broccoli florets and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until bright green and tender. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Add sliced green beans and carrots. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring often, until vegetables are tender but still crisp. Add the cooked broccoli, mushrooms, and onions back into the skillet. Stir to combine.
- Add the cooked potstickers to the skillet with the vegetables. Give the sauce a quick stir to redistribute the cornstarch, then pour it over the mixture. Stir gently to coat everything evenly without breaking the potstickers. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy.
- Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Serve immediately with steamed rice.
Notes
Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheating: Reheat in a skillet over medium heat with a splash of water or soy sauce for best results, or microwave in 30-second intervals. Customization: Use any type of potstickers (pork, chicken, shrimp, or vegetable). Vegetable variations: Add bell peppers, snap peas, baby corn, bok choy, or water chestnuts. Gluten-free: Use gluten-free tamari instead of soy sauce and gluten-free potstickers. Make-ahead: Prep vegetables and sauce up to 2 days ahead, then stir fry when ready to serve.
