You guys. You guys.
I made homemade potstickers and they are seriously the best thing ever…and with all veggies too!
Oh my gosh…I love these.
Question? Did you guys grow up eating potstickers from the freezer isle? Because I did, potstickers and Perogies. Both were recurring after school snacks (and sometimes dinners) when I was a kid, my mom and I loved them. Especially with a side of soy sauce. Yum.
Seeing as I now have a recipe for Homemade Perogies on HBH, I thought I should probably have a recipe for homemade potstickers too. I mean, it just seemed like the right thing to do. And it is.
I know Homemade Potstickers might sound scary, and you’re probably thinking these are too hard to make, but the truth is that they’re relatively easy, and actually somewhat fun to make. Not to mention the fact that these are a million times better than anything from the freezer section, and healthier too!
I made my potsticker filling out of veggies, which I personally think is way better than ground meat. The vegetables add flavor and color, which you guys know I am all about.
I used mushrooms, cabbage, and carrots, but honestly, any mash-up of veggies would do. Broccoli, brussels sprouts, and kale would all be awesome. I seasoned the veggies with a touch of soy sauce and used a ton of ginger and sesame to kick things up a bit. I then pan-fried them and served them up with the most delicious sauce, because in my opinion you can’t serve potstickers without sauce. You just can’t.
When I was a kid, mom and I would eat our Potstickers with a little soy, but I decided to have some fun and create a sauce loaded with flavor. Enter my Toasted Sesame Honey Soy Sauce. It’s sweet, a little spicy, and a touch salty, which if you did not know is the perfect combo and the best accompaniment to these homemade potstickers.
You have to try it.
Preferably sometime soon, like maybe this weekend? Or maybe even tomorrow night for a little 2018 Winter Olympic Opening Ceremony celebration dinner.
Yes, yes, you should! Invite friends over, make potstickers, and watch the Opening Ceremonies (they will replayed tomorrow night at 8:pm EST on NBC…PyeongChang is 14 hours ahead of EST). You can cheer on my brother Red, his friends, and the entire US Snowboard team. YES, DO THAT!
Here is a link to the entire broadcasting schedule of the Olympics. If you want to watch live, you’ll need to livestream. Here is a link to a free trial on Fubo TV. Red competes live at 8:00 pm EST on Friday night the 9th, or watch the replay the next morning on NBCSN at 9:15 am EST. If Red makes finals, he will compete live at 8:00 pm EST on NBCSN.
Speaking of which…
As you guys are reading this post, I should be somewhere over the Pacific Ocean and well on my way to South Korea. Not going to lie, kind of freaking out a bit as I type that. This is the farthest I have ever traveled, and only the second time I have ever been out of the USA. The first time was to Mexico, which was only a two-hour flight from home I almost feel as though that doesn’t even count.
Anyway, the Korean adventure to the 2018 Winter Olympics has officially begun. It’s going to be a crazy week ahead, but I’m excited and so happy to be here with my family and even more happy for the reason we are going. Still can’t really believe it, but Red’s an Olympian now, and I cannot wait to cheer him on, and his friends (some of which feel like family members as well).
It’s going to be amazing.
Don’t forget to follow along on Instagram!!
And then, make these Potstickers tomorrow, take a photo, and tag me on Insta so I can see!
Homemade Vegetable Potstickers with Toasted Sesame Honey Soy Sauce
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 1 inch fresh ginger, grated
- 8 ounces shiitake mushrooms, chopped
- 1 cup shredded cabbage
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce or tamari
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
- 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
- 36-40 wonton wrappers
Toasted Sesame Honey Soy Sauce
- 1 clove garlic, minced or grated
- 1/3 cup rice vinegar
- 1/4 cup toasted sesame oil
- 1-2 tablespoons Gochujang (Korean chili paste) or chili sauce
- 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce or tamari
- 1 tablespoon honey
Instructions
- 1. Heat 1 tablespoon sesame oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. When the oil shimmers, add the mushroom, cabbage, carrots, and ginger. Cook, stirring occasionally until the veggies have cooked down, about 5 minutes. Add the soy sauce, chives, and sesame seeds and cook another 2-3 minutes or until all the liquid has evaporated. Remove from the heat and let cool. 2. To assemble, spoon 1 tablespoon of filling onto each wrapper. Brush water around the edge of the wrapper. Fold the dough over the filling to create a half moon shape, pinching the edges to seal. Repeat with the remaining wrappers. 3. Heat a large skillet with the remaining sesame oil over medium-high heat. When the oil shimmers, add the potstickers and cook until the bottoms are light golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Pour 1/4 cup of water into the pan and immediately cover with a tight fitting lid. Turn heat to medium and let the dumplings steam for 3 minutes. Serve immediately with sauce (se below). 4. To make the sauce, whisk together all ingredients in a bowl.

These are AMAZING!!! I stumbled upon these on Pinterest and made for dinner last night. I am pretty sure I have told everyone I crossed since they have to make these! Thank you for posting these! Can’t wait to try more recipes
So glad you liked these! Thank you so much Sarah!
We had this last night as we were watching your brother win gold! Shredder! Congratulations and this recipe was delicious!
Thank you!!
These look delicious! It’s usually hard to find vegetarian potstickers. Can you make them ahead of time and freeze them? Or make them and refrigerate them for a day or two? Thanks!!
HI! You can freeze these!! I like to freeze before cooking, then cook from frozen. It’s really quick and easy. Please let me know if you have other questions. Hope you love this recipe! Thanks! 🙂
Can’t wait to try this recipe. Quick question: What is the dark leafy vegetable that you show in your pictures? I can’t tell which one of it is from you ingredients list. Congrats to your family for the gold!
Hi!! It’s actually just micro greens that I sprinkled on top. Please let me know if you have other questions. Hope you love this recipe! Thanks! 🙂
I was wondering the same. Not the greens on top but the dark greens in the photos of the filling. It looks like Kale?
I just watched your brother win Gold tonight!!! i am a Rhode Islander and I loved seeing he had a sister with a food blog! I love making potstickers and can’t wait to try your recipe! The spicy chickpeas looks wicked good, too! Best of luck to your family in Korea.
I hope you love this recipe, Laura! So glad you watched Red! I am so proud of him!!
your brother totally killed it on slopestyle! congrats! your fam with the face posters, so awesome.:) enjoy the games!
Thank you so much Stephanie! We are so proud of him!
These look delicious! Any suggestions for making them Gluten Free? I haven’t seen any GF wonton wrappers but was thinking maybe rice paper.
HI! I would check Whole Foods for GF wonton wrappers as I do think they make them. If you can’t find then, rice paper will work, but I would just steam the potstickers. I think pan frying could tear the wrapper…but not sure. Either way, I think rice wrapper would be great tasting! 🙂 Please let me know if you have other questions. Hope you love this recipe! Thanks! 🙂
I’m watching right now and see him in 5th position. I’m Canadian so rooting for Canada team but I’m also watching and rooting for him ? I’m watching on french canadian tv and they just mentioned his name among the ones to watch. ?
Gomabseubnida Louise! So glad you’re watching!
thank you for sharing the recipe
I am glad you liked it! Thank you!
Hey Tieghan,
I love these potstickers and was just looking for a recipe for veggie potstickers! 🙂 my mom and I used to eat them too. Maybe I can make these when I visit.
I hope your flight goes well and I’m so excited for you and Red. I’ll keep a lookout for him tomorrow night! 🙂
Thank you Kristin! I hope you love these potstickers, let me know how they turn out!
Holy crap. I usually have to be tricked into eating vegetables, but I think I can chop these up fine enough to not notice all the vitamins and minerals and fiber, haha. Great recipe!

Haha thank you Jessica!
One of our favorite things to make at home – I can’t wait to try out this veggie version! As a side note, and I know it’s rare to have leftovers with potstickers, but hubby and I do, in fact, have leftovers. Pop the potstickers into the freezer on a half size cookie sheet and freeze individually then toss into a gallon size freezer bag. They don’t even need to be thawed when you’re ready to cook them! Just pull out as many as you need and fry/steam.
Have a wonderful, safe trip!
Thanks! I was looking for comments on freezing.
Yes they’re so easy to freeze and have for later! I hope you love these Lori! Thank you!
Thanks for this recipe! I’m a pescatarian and it’s difficult to find good veggie potstickers in the store. I could feel your excitement for your brother through your writing and it brought a huge smile to my face! I pray he has success and safe travels for all. Go USA!
I hope you love this Lisa! Thank you so much!
hey girl- these look so yummy!
Thank you Shawnna!
Lol, you are just A LITTLE big excited about those game, just can tell from your post 🙂 I hope you had a fun flight, it’s easy to fly now with personal screens and selection of movies games, with food coming every couple hours 🙂 Can’t wait to hear all about South Korea! And thank you for doing all the work for us– it has been on my to-do list to find snow boarding competitions times on TV, and you have done it for us!! Will be cheering for Red!! Good luck!!
Thank you so much Nikki! I cannot wait to share with you guys everything I have already done!
