→ Vegetables
02 - 1 cup bell pepper, sliced
03 - 1 cup snap peas, trimmed
04 - 1 cup baby carrots, julienned
05 - 1 cup mushrooms, sliced

12 - 2 teaspoons sesame oil
13 - 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
14 - 1/2 teaspoon sugar

# How To Make It:
01 - Whisk together all stir-fry sauce ingredients in a small bowl; set aside for later use.
02 - Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add potstickers flat side down and cook until bottoms are golden brown, approximately 3 minutes.
03 - Add 1/4 cup water to the skillet, cover tightly, and steam for 3-4 minutes until water evaporates and potstickers are tender. Transfer to a plate and keep warm.
04 - In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of oil if needed. Sauté garlic, ginger, and all vegetables except green onions for 3-4 minutes until just tender but still crisp.
05 - Return potstickers to the skillet. Pour sauce over everything and toss gently to combine. Cook for 2 additional minutes to heat through.
06 - Sprinkle green onions and sesame seeds over the top. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve immediately.

- The crispy potstickers add an unexpected crunch that turns ordinary stir fry into something special
