Ingredients

Scale

Pork Potstickers

  • 12–16 pork potstickers (fresh or frozen)

Noodles

  • 6 oz ramen or wheat noodles
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce

Cabbage Slaw

  • 1 cup shredded green cabbage
  • 1 cup shredded Napa cabbage
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots
  • 2 scallions, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Slaw Dressing

  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp sugar
  • Salt, to taste
  • 1 tsp sesame oil

Aromatics and Garnishes

  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
  • Additional scallions, for garnish
  • Chili flakes or sriracha, optional
  • Fresh cilantro or Thai basil, for garnish
  • Toasted sesame seeds or crushed peanuts, optional

Instructions

  1. Cook the Potstickers: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat with a bit of oil. Add frozen or fresh pork potstickers, cooking until the bottoms turn golden and crisp, about 2-3 minutes. Then, add water, cover the pan, and steam for another 5 minutes or until fully cooked. Remove and set aside.
  2. Prepare the Noodles: Boil noodles according to package instructions until tender but still slightly firm. Drain, then toss with sesame oil and soy sauce to infuse flavor and prevent sticking.
  3. Make the Cabbage Slaw: In a large bowl, combine shredded green and Napa cabbage, shredded carrots, sliced scallions, and chopped cilantro. In a small bowl, whisk together rice vinegar, sugar, salt, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Pour the dressing over the slaw and toss gently to coat evenly.
  4. Assemble the Bowl: Divide noodles among serving bowls, top with hot potstickers, and spoon the cabbage slaw over the top. Garnish with extra scallions, fresh herbs, chili flakes or sriracha, and toasted sesame seeds or peanuts if desired. Serve immediately for best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Do not overcrowd the pan when frying potstickers to ensure they crisp properly.
  • Prepare the cabbage slaw a few hours in advance to let flavors meld.
  • Use fresh garlic and ginger for vibrant, authentic flavor.
  • Warm your serving bowls to keep the potstickers hot longer.
  • Adjust rice vinegar and sugar in the dressing to suit your preferred tangy-sweet balance.
