Ingredients

Scale

Potstickers

  • 12 store-bought or homemade potstickers
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable or neutral oil (for frying)

Noodles

  • 4 ounces ramen, soba, or udon noodles (cooked according to package instructions)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil (to toss noodles)

Vegetables

  • 1/2 cup napa cabbage, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup carrots, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup snap peas, sliced
  • 2 green onions, sliced (plus extra for garnish)

Dressing

  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic (fresh)
  • 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
  • 1 teaspoon honey or brown sugar

Garnishes (optional)

  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
  • Optional chili oil or sriracha to taste
  • Optional crushed peanuts or toasted cashews for extra crunch

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Potstickers: Pan-fry the potstickers over medium-high heat with a splash of oil until the bottoms are crispy and golden brown. Add a small amount of water to the pan and cover to steam the potstickers until cooked through, ensuring a tender interior and crispy exterior.
  2. Cook the Noodles: Meanwhile, boil noodles according to package instructions until just tender. Drain and toss with a touch of sesame oil to keep them flavorful and prevent sticking.
  3. Prepare the Vegetables: Thinly slice fresh vegetables like carrots, snap peas, and green onions. Leave some vegetables raw for crunch or quickly blanch if you prefer softer textures.
  4. Mix the Dressing: Combine soy sauce (or tamari), minced garlic, freshly grated ginger, sesame oil, and honey or brown sugar in a bowl. Stir well to create a balanced dressing that ties the bowl together.
  5. Assemble the Bowl: In a deep bowl, layer the noodles first, then arrange the cooked potstickers on top. Scatter fresh vegetables generously and drizzle with the prepared dressing. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and additional green onions, and add optional chili oil or nuts if desired.

Notes

  • Don’t overcrowd the pan when frying potstickers; cook in batches for best crispiness.
  • Use fresh garlic and ginger to brighten the flavor of the dressing.
  • Toss noodles lightly in sesame or neutral oil to prevent sticking.
  • Mix crunchy and soft elements in the bowl for exciting texture contrasts.
  • Prepare the soy-based dressing ahead of time to allow flavors to meld and speed up assembly.
