¼ cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
¼ cup vinegar
1 tablespoon sugar or honey

Instructions
Make the Sauce: Whisk cornstarch and cold water until smooth. Add soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar or honey, and ginger. Set aside.
Prep Vegetables: Slice carrots, mushrooms, and green beans. Cut broccoli into florets and dice onion.
Cook Potstickers: Heat sesame oil and olive oil in a skillet. Add frozen potstickers and cook 3–4 minutes until browned. Add 2 tablespoons water, cover, and steam 3–4 minutes. Remove and set aside.
Cook Mushrooms & Onions: Add a little olive oil, sauté mushrooms and onions until browned. Remove and set aside.
Cook Broccoli: Add a small drizzle of sesame oil, cook broccoli 3–4 minutes. Remove and set aside.
Cook Green Beans & Carrots: Add olive oil, stir fry 3–4 minutes. Return broccoli, mushrooms, and onions to the skillet.
Combine Everything: Add potstickers back in. Pour sauce over the stir fry and cook 2–3 minutes until thickened.
Serve: Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Serve alone or over rice.
Notes
For extra heat, add chili flakes or a splash of Sriracha to the sauce.
Use veggie potstickers for a meatless version.
If the sauce gets too thick, stir in 1–2 tbsp water to loosen it.
