Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 package (16 oz) frozen potstickers (pork, chicken, or veggie)
  • 8 oz lo mein noodles or spaghetti
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Vegetables

  • 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

  1. Cook Potstickers: Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the frozen potstickers following the package instructions until they are browned and cooked through. Once done, set them aside on a plate.
  2. Cook Noodles: Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the lo mein noodles or spaghetti and cook until al dente, usually about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain the noodles and toss them with a small amount of sesame oil to prevent sticking.
  3. Stir-Fry Vegetables: Using the same skillet, add the tablespoon of sesame oil and stir-fry the minced garlic, shredded carrots, and shredded red cabbage until they begin to soften, about 3 to 4 minutes. Then add the baby spinach or chopped bok choy and cook until wilted, about 2 more minutes.
  4. Prepare Sauce and Combine: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), rice vinegar, sugar, and black pepper until well mixed. Pour this sauce into the skillet with the vegetables, then add the cooked noodles. Toss everything well to coat the noodles and vegetables evenly with the sauce.
  5. Add Potstickers and Finish: Return the cooked potstickers to the skillet with the noodles and vegetables. Gently toss everything together to combine and heat through evenly, taking care not to break apart the potstickers.
  6. Serve: Plate the noodle bowl, garnish with sliced green onions and optional sesame seeds, and serve hot for a flavorful and hearty meal.

Notes

  • For a vegetarian version, use vegetable potstickers and omit oyster sauce or substitute with a vegan alternative.
  • If you prefer a spicier flavor, add a teaspoon of chili garlic sauce to the sauce mixture.
  • Lo mein noodles can be replaced with spaghetti if unavailable, but lo mein offers a more authentic texture.
  • Use fresh vegetables like bok choy instead of baby spinach for added crunch and flavor.
  • Make sure to not overcook noodles to prevent sogginess in the final dish.
