Ingredients

  • frozen beef potstickers
  • vegetable oil or canola oil
  • water
  • ramen noodles
  • beef or vegetable broth
  • minced ginger
  • minced garlic
  • soy sauce
  • toasted sesame oil
  • rice vinegar or white vinegar with a pinch of sugar
  • brown sugar or maple syrup
  • sliced shiitake mushrooms
  • shredded carrots
  • snap peas
  • baby bok choy
  • spinach
  • sliced green onions
  • toasted sesame seeds
  • red pepper flakes
  • fresh cilantro

Instructions

  1. Heat a tablespoon of oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Place your frozen potstickers in a single layer, flat side down, and cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown and crispy.
  2. Once browned, carefully add about half a cup of water to the skillet, immediately cover with a lid, and reduce the heat to medium-low. Steam for 8-10 minutes, or until the water has evaporated and the potstickers are tender and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  3. While the potstickers are steaming, cook your noodles according to package directions. For ramen or udon, this usually means boiling for just a few minutes until al dente. Drain them well and set aside.
  4. In a medium saucepan or pot, combine your beef or vegetable broth. Add the minced ginger, garlic, soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, rice vinegar, and brown sugar. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
  5. Let it simmer for 5-7 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Taste and adjust seasonings.
  6. Once the broth has simmered, add any quick-cooking vegetables like sliced mushrooms, shredded carrots, or snap peas. Let them cook in the broth for 2-3 minutes until just tender-crisp.
  7. If using spinach or baby bok choy, add them in the final minute or two so they wilt nicely without becoming overcooked.
  8. Divide the cooked noodles among two large serving bowls. Arrange the cooked potstickers on top of the noodles.
  9. Ladle the hot, flavorful broth and vegetables generously over the potstickers and noodles.
  10. Finish your Potsticker Noodle Bowls with a sprinkle of sliced green onions, toasted sesame seeds, and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Serve immediately.

Keywords: For extra crispy potsticker bottoms, don't overcrowd your skillet when pan-frying. Feel free to add more chili garlic sauce or sriracha for heat.
