Ingredients

Scale

Potstickers and Noodles

  • 12–16 store-bought pork potstickers
  • 6 oz egg noodles or ramen noodles

Slaw

  • 1 cup green cabbage, shredded
  • 1 cup Napa cabbage, shredded
  • 1 medium carrot, finely shredded
  • 3 scallions, thinly sliced

Dressing

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced

For Cooking

  • 1 tablespoon neutral oil (vegetable, canola, or peanut oil)

Garnishes (optional)

  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
  • Extra sliced scallions
  • Chili flakes or fresh sliced chili

Instructions

  1. Cook the noodles: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add your choice of egg or ramen noodles and cook according to package instructions until just tender. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop cooking and set aside.
  2. Prepare the slaw: In a large bowl, combine shredded green and Napa cabbage, grated carrot, and sliced scallions. In a separate small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey (or maple syrup), minced garlic, and ginger. Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss well to coat evenly. Let it marinate while you cook the potstickers.
  3. Cook the potstickers: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of neutral oil. Arrange the potstickers in a single layer. Fry until the bottoms are golden and crisp, about 2-3 minutes. Add a splash of water (approximately 1/4 cup), cover immediately, and steam for about 5 minutes more or until water evaporates and potstickers are cooked through.
  4. Assemble the bowl: Place a generous bed of cooked noodles in each serving bowl. Top with a heap of the prepared cabbage slaw, then arrange the crispy potstickers on top. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds, extra scallions, and optional chili flakes for added flavor.

Notes

  • Do not overcrowd the pan when cooking potstickers; cook in batches for best crispiness and even cooking.
  • Use fresh ginger and garlic for a more vibrant flavor in the slaw and dressing.
  • Rinse noodles after cooking to prevent sticking and maintain a pleasant chewy texture.
  • Toast sesame seeds before sprinkling to enhance nuttiness and crunch.
  • Adjust spice levels by adding chili flakes, sriracha, or fresh chilies according to taste.
