Ingredients
Scale
Stir Fry
- 10–12 frozen potstickers or gyoza (keep them frozen—no thawing!)
- ¼ cup water
- 4–5 white mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 20 green beans, cut into thirds
- 1 large carrot, thinly sliced on a diagonal
- ¼ cup finely diced onion
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Sesame seeds, for sprinkling
- Green onions, for topping
Sauce
- ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
- ¼ cup rice wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sugar or honey
- 1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon cold water
Instructions
- Make the Sauce
- In a small bowl, stir the cornstarch and cold water together to form a smooth slurry. Add the soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, sugar (or honey), and grated ginger. Whisk thoroughly and set aside.
- Prep the Veggies
- Cut the carrot into thin diagonal slices. Slice mushrooms, chop green beans into thirds, break broccoli into bite-size florets, and dice the onion.
- Cook the Potstickers
- Heat both the sesame oil and olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Arrange the frozen potstickers in a single layer. Let them brown on the bottom for about 3–4 minutes.
- Pour in 2 tablespoons of water, cover, and steam for another 3–4 minutes.
- Transfer the cooked potstickers to a plate and keep nearby.
- Sauté the Mushrooms & Onion
- Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the same skillet. Toss in the mushrooms and diced onion. Cook until the mushrooms take on a deep brown color—about 3–4 minutes. Remove and set aside.
- Cook the Broccoli
- Add 1 teaspoon of sesame oil to the skillet. Add the broccoli and sauté for 3–4 minutes until it softens slightly. Remove and set aside.
- Stir Fry the Green Beans & Carrots
- Pour 1 tablespoon of olive oil into the skillet. Add the sliced carrots and green beans, cooking them for another 3–4 minutes until crisp-tender. Return the broccoli, mushrooms, and onions to the skillet and give everything a gentle toss.
- Bring It All Together
- Add the potstickers back into the pan. Pour the sauce over the stir fry and fold everything together carefully so the potstickers stay intact. Let it bubble for 2–3 minutes until the sauce thickens and clings to the veggies.
- Serve
- Transfer the stir fry to a serving dish and finish with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and plenty of green onions. Enjoy it over rice or on its own!
