Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 package Frozen Potstickers/Gyoza
  • 1/4 cup Water (for steaming)
  • 8 oz White Button Mushrooms (or shiitake/baby bella) Opt for shiitake or baby bella mushrooms for a more complex flavor profile.
  • 2 cups Broccoli Florets Rich in vitamins C and K.
  • 1 cup Green Beans (or asparagus/sugar snap peas)
  • 1 large Carrot (shredded)
  • 1 medium Onion (red onion is a good alternative)
Oils and Sauces
  • 1 tbsp Sesame Oil (or vegetable/olive oil) Use high-quality extra virgin olive oil for flavor and health benefits.
  • 1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil (or avocado oil)
  • 3 tbsp Soy Sauce (Reduced-Sodium) (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 tbsp Rice Wine Vinegar (or apple cider vinegar)
  • 1 tbsp Sugar/Honey (or agave syrup) Consider swapping refined sugar for monk fruit to reduce calories.
  • 1 tsp Fresh Ginger (Grated) (or ground ginger)
  • 1 tbsp Cornstarch (or arrowroot powder)
  • 2 tbsp Cold Water (for slurry)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by cleaning the mushrooms and chopping them into slices.
  2. Wash and trim the broccoli, green beans, and shred the carrot.
  3. Slice the onion finely.
Cooking
  1. In a heavy-bottomed cast iron skillet, heat sesame oil and olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.
  2. Add the sliced onion to the skillet, stirring until they become translucent and fragrant, about 3 minutes.
  3. Add in the mushrooms, broccoli, green beans, and carrot. Sauté until tender-crisp, around 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently.
  4. Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet. Add the frozen potstickers to the empty side. Pour in the water, cover with a lid, and steam for 5 minutes.
  5. In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, sugar/honey, ginger, cornstarch, and cold water until there are no lumps.
  6. Once the potstickers are steamed, pour the sauce mixture into the skillet. Stir gently to combine all ingredients, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the veggies and potstickers.
  7. Enjoy your Quick Potsticker Stir Fry steaming hot from the skillet, garnished with sliced green onions or sesame seeds, if desired.

Notes

For Vegan: Substitute potstickers with tofu-based dumplings and ensure the sauce is vegan-friendly using tamari. For Gluten-Free: Use gluten-free tamari instead of soy sauce and ensure your potstickers are gluten-free. For Keto: Use a low-carb sweetener in place of sugar and incorporate zucchini noodles for added texture.
