- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil (sub avocado oil)
- 2 tablespoons green onions (thinly sliced)
- 4 teaspoons garlic (minced)
- 4 teaspoons rice vinegar
- 4 teaspoons honey
- 2 teaspoons ginger (grated)
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil

Main Stir Fry Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 12 ounces frozen potstickers (approx. 12 potstickers)
- ¼ cup water
- 1 tablespoon garlic (minced)
- 3 carrots (peeled & thinly sliced)
- 3 cups broccoli florets
- ½ red onion (halved and sliced)
- 1 cup green cabbage (thinly sliced)
- 8 ounces fresh mushrooms (sliced)
- 1 red bell pepper (sliced)
To Serve
- 4 cups cooked rice
- Sesame seeds
- Green onions (sliced)
Instructions
- Make Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, extra virgin olive oil, green onions, minced garlic, rice vinegar, honey, grated ginger, sesame oil, and garlic chili sauce until well combined. Alternatively, add all ingredients to a mason jar and shake vigorously. Set aside to allow flavors to blend.
- Sear Potstickers: Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon olive oil to coat the bottom. Once hot, arrange the frozen potstickers flat side down in the pan. Cook for 4-5 minutes or until the bottoms are golden brown. Add ¼ cup water to the skillet and immediately cover with a lid. Reduce heat slightly and let the potstickers steam and finish cooking for 3-4 minutes. Transfer cooked potstickers to a plate and set aside.
- Cook Vegetables: Return the skillet to medium-high heat and add another tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté 1 tablespoon minced garlic for 30 seconds to 1 minute until fragrant. Add sliced carrots, broccoli florets, and red onion to the pan. Cook while stirring occasionally for 5-10 minutes until vegetables begin to soften. Then add cabbage, mushrooms, and red bell pepper. Continue cooking for an additional 5-10 minutes or until all vegetables are tender but still retain some firmness.
- Add Sauce and Potstickers: Pour the prepared garlic chili sauce over the vegetables and toss to coat evenly. Return the cooked potstickers to the skillet and gently toss everything together until combined and heated through.
- Serve: Serve the potsticker stir fry hot over cooked rice. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions for added flavor and a beautiful presentation. Enjoy immediately.
