How to Make Potsticker Noodle Bowls

Step 1: Cook Potstickers

In a large skillet, cook frozen potstickers according to package instructions (usually pan-fry with a splash of water and lid until golden and cooked through).

Set aside.

Step 2: Cook the Noodles

While potstickers cook, boil your ramen or stir-fry noodles in a separate pot.

Drain and set aside.

Step 3: Make the Sauce

In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, hoisin sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, ginger, and sesame oil.

Add a splash of water if too thick.

Step 4: Stir-Fry the Veggies

In the same skillet, sauté coleslaw mix or cabbage for 2–3 minutes until slightly softened.

Step 5: Combine Everything

Add noodles, sauce, and potstickers to the skillet.

Toss everything gently to coat and heat through.
