Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Potsticker Stir-Fry
  1. In a small bowl, whisk together rice vinegar, soy sauce, cornstarch, sugar, and sesame oil until the cornstarch fully dissolves. Set the sauce aside.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Place the frozen potstickers pleat-side up in a single layer. Fry for about 3 minutes until they develop a golden-brown crust.
  3. Pour in 1/2 cup of water and cover the pan with a lid. Allow the dumplings to steam for 3 minutes. Remove the lid, turn the dumplings over, and fry for an additional 2 minutes until golden and crisped on the opposite side.
  4. Add 1 more tablespoon of vegetable oil, followed by the sliced cremini mushrooms. Stir-fry for about 2-3 minutes until tender and browned. Transfer the mushrooms to a plate.
  5. Add the asparagus pieces and carrot slices to the same pan. Sauté for approximately 2 minutes until bright and crisp-tender. Add the chopped ginger and stir-fry for about 30 seconds.
  6. Return the crispy potstickers and sautéed mushrooms to the pan. Pour in the prepared sauce, stirring for about 30 seconds until it thickens and coats the dumplings and veggies nicely.
  7. Remove from heat and transfer the potsticker stir-fry to a serving platter. Garnish with finely sliced scallions.
