Ingredients

8 to 10 frozen potstickers

8 oz noodles (lo mein, yakisoba, or linguine)

1 tablespoon neutral oil (vegetable or canola)

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated

2 cups bok choy, chopped

1 cup shredded carrots

1/2 cup red cabbage, thinly sliced (optional)

2 green onions, sliced

1/2 lb ground meat or crumbled tofu (optional)

1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce

1 tablespoon oyster sauce

1 tablespoon hoisin sauce

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 teaspoon sesame oil

1 tablespoon honey or brown sugar

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

2 tablespoons water or broth

1 teaspoon cornstarch


Instructions

1. Cook noodles according to package directions until al dente. Drain and rinse with cold water; set aside.

2. In a non-stick skillet or wok, heat oil over medium heat. Add frozen potstickers in a single layer. Sear for 2 to 3 minutes until bottoms are golden.

3. Add 1/4 cup water and cover to steam for 5 to 6 minutes until cooked through. Remove and set aside.

4. Add ground meat or tofu to the skillet (if using). Cook until browned and cooked through. Remove and set aside.

5. Sauté garlic and ginger for 30 seconds. Add bok choy, carrots, and cabbage. Stir-fry for 3 to 4 minutes until tender-crisp.

6. In a bowl, whisk together all sauce ingredients. Pour into skillet and bring to a simmer. Let it thicken for 1 minute.

7. Add noodles to skillet and toss with sauce and veggies until fully coated.

8. Return protein and potstickers to pan. Fold in gently to combine.

9. Serve hot, garnished with green onions or a drizzle of chili oil if desired.
