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.
