This potsticker stir fry is my recent “I need something fast but still exciting” weeknight dinner solution.
Crispy potstickers, tender cabbage, and a tangy sesame stir-fry sauce give this quick and easy stir-fry Chinese takeout vibes.
It’s a one-pan, 30-minute recipe that starts with frozen potsticker dumplings you don't have to thaw before cooking.
After a bit of trial and error, I figured out that browning the dumplings before steaming them gives them so much texture and flavor while also helping them keep their shape.
To bulk up the stir-fry, I added handfuls of napa cabbage plus my favorite stir-fry veggies.
Everything is coated in a salty, tangy sauce that’s reminiscent of the dipping sauce my favorite Chinese restaurant always serves with their dumplings.
If you’ve been reaching for that takeout menu on busy weeknights, buy some frozen potstickers at the grocery store and throw together this quick stir-fry instead.
It scratches the takeout itch but is so much better for you!
Enjoy!
