Total Time:30 minutes
Yield:4 servings
Ingredients
Potstickers
1 package (16 oz) frozen potstickers (pork, chicken, or veggie)
Noodles
8 oz lo mein noodles or spaghetti
1 tablespoon sesame oil
Vegetables
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 black pepper
Garnish
Sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
Cook Potstickers: Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the frozen potstickers following the package directions until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Prepare Noodles: Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the lo mein noodles or spaghetti until al dente. Drain well and toss with a small amount of sesame oil to prevent sticking.
Stir-Fry Vegetables: In the same skillet used for the potstickers, add the sesame oil and sauté the minced garlic, shredded carrots, and shredded red cabbage until they start to soften, about 3-4 minutes. Add the baby spinach or chopped bok choy and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes.
Make the Sauce and Toss: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), rice vinegar, sugar, and black pepper. Add the cooked noodles and sauce mixture to the skillet with the vegetables. Toss well to combine and heat through.
Combine with Potstickers and Serve: Return the cooked potstickers to the skillet and gently toss everything together to incorporate the flavors. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds if desired. Serve the noodle bowls hot.
Notes
For a vegetarian version, use veggie potstickers and omit oyster sauce or substitute with a vegetarian oyster sauce or mushroom sauce.
If lo mein noodles are unavailable, spaghetti works as a suitable substitute.
Adjust the level of soy sauce and sugar to your taste preference for a sweeter or saltier sauce.
Use fresh baby spinach if possible for the best texture and flavor instead of chopped bok choy.
Sesame seeds add a nice crunch and nutty flavor but can be omitted if unavailable.
