Ingredients

8 ounces fresh ramen noodles
1 tablespoon vegetable oil

12 pieces frozen potstickers
4 cups chicken broth

1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil

1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ginger, grated
1 cup Napa cabbage, shredded

1 medium carrot, julienned
2 stalks green onion, sliced
1 tablespoon oyster sauce

Instructions

Step 1: Bring chicken broth to a simmer in a medium pot and stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger.
Step 2: Heat vegetable oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Arrange potstickers in a single layer.
Step 3: Cook potstickers until golden brown on one side. Add 2 tablespoons of water, cover the skillet, and steam until potstickers are cooked through, about 5 minutes.

Step 4: Meanwhile, cook ramen noodles in boiling water according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Step 5: Stir soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil into the simmering broth. Add shredded cabbage and julienned carrot, cooking until just tender, about 2 minutes.
Step 6: Divide the cooked noodles between bowls and ladle the hot broth with vegetables over them.

Step 7: Top each bowl with crispy potstickers and garnish with sliced green onions before serving.

Tips & Variations

For extra flavor, add a splash of rice vinegar or chili oil to the broth before serving.
Swap Napa cabbage with bok choy for a different leafy texture.

Use chicken or vegetable potstickers for variety or dietary preference.
To keep potstickers crispy, cook them just before serving and serve immediately.

Storage

Store leftover broth, noodles, and potstickers separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat broth on the stove and noodles briefly in hot water or microwave. Reheat potstickers in a skillet or oven to maintain their crispiness.

How to Serve

A white plate with colorful and detailed decorative patterns is filled with a soup dish consisting of seven soft, plump dumplings arranged around the edge. Inside and mixed with the dumplings are light yellow curly noodles in the center with a slightly shiny texture. Bright orange carrot slices are scattered among the dumplings and noodles, along with dark green leafy vegetables adding contrast. Chopped light green cabbage and green onion pieces are spread throughout the bowl, with a light brown broth filling the spaces. Small white sesame seeds are sprinkled on the dumplings. The plate sits on a white marbled surface. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use dried ramen noodles instead of fresh?

Yes, dried ramen noodles can be used. Just follow the package cooking instructions and adjust cooking times if needed. Fresh noodles tend to be more tender, but dried noodles work well too.

How do I make sure the potstickers cook evenly?

Cook potstickers in a single layer without crowding the pan. Brown one side before adding water to steam them covered. This method ensures a crispy bottom with fully cooked filling.
