Ingredients

Scale

Potstickers and Noodles

  • 1 (16 oz) package frozen potstickers (pork, chicken, or veggie)
  • 8 oz lo mein noodles or spaghetti

Vegetables and Aromatics

  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 cup shredded red cabbage
  • 2 cups baby spinach or chopped bok choy
  • 3 green onions, sliced

Sauce

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Garnish

  • Sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Potstickers: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the frozen potstickers according to package instructions. Typically, this involves pan-frying to brown the bottoms, then adding water and covering to steam until fully cooked. Once done, remove from the skillet and set aside.
  2. Boil the Noodles: Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the lo mein noodles or spaghetti according to the package directions until al dente. Drain well and toss with a little sesame oil to prevent sticking.
  3. Stir-Fry the Vegetables: Using the same skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic, shredded carrots, and shredded red cabbage, and stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until the vegetables are just tender. Add the baby spinach or chopped bok choy and cook until wilted.
  4. Combine Noodles and Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), rice vinegar, sugar, and black pepper. Add the cooked noodles to the skillet with the vegetables and pour the sauce mixture over. Toss everything together to coat evenly.
  5. Add Potstickers and Serve: Return the cooked potstickers to the skillet and gently toss everything together. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds if desired. Serve the noodle bowls hot.

Notes

  • Customize with extra veggies like bell peppers or mushrooms for added flavor and texture.
  • Use rice noodles and gluten-free potstickers and soy sauce to make this dish gluten-free.
  • Don’t overcook the potstickers; follow package instructions for best texture.
  • Cook noodles al dente to maintain a good bite after mixing in the sauce.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat gently in a skillet with a splash of water or soy sauce.
