Description
This Jalapeño Potsticker Stir Fry is a cozy one-pan dinner made with crispy potstickers, colorful veggies, and a glossy soy-sesame sauce with a gentle kick. It’s fast, flexible, and perfect for busy weeknights.
Ingredients
8–12 oz frozen potstickers (any filling; use veggie potstickers for vegetarian)
2 tablespoons neutral oil (avocado, canola, or vegetable)
1 jalapeño, thinly sliced (remove seeds for less heat)
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced (optional)
1 bell pepper, sliced
1 cup snap peas
1 cup carrots, julienned or thinly sliced
2 green onions, sliced
SAUCE
3 tablespoons soy sauce (reduced-sodium if preferred)
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
2–3 tablespoons water (optional)
Optional toppings: sesame seeds, chili crisp
Instructions
1. Prep everything first (slice veggies, mince garlic, mix sauce) — stir-fries move fast.
2. Whisk sauce: soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, rice vinegar (add water if you want it lighter).
3. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
4. Add potstickers in a single layer and brown on both sides (about 2–4 minutes per side). Transfer to a plate.
5. Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Add jalapeño, garlic, and ginger; stir 30–60 seconds until fragrant.
6. Add bell pepper, snap peas, and carrots; stir-fry 3–5 minutes until tender-crisp.
7. Return potstickers to the pan. Pour in sauce; toss gently to coat.
8. Simmer 1–2 minutes until glossy and heated through.
9. Top with green onions (and sesame seeds/chili crisp if desired). Serve immediately.
