Krazy Kitchen Mom Tips

• Be sure to cook the potstickers until they are crispy and steam them to ensure they are thoroughly cooked.
• Avoid Overcrowding and cook potstickers in batches if necessary. Use medium-high heat for stir-frying to ensure they cook quickly while retaining their crunch. Order Matters: Start with vegetables that take longer to cook, such as carrots and broccoli, and add quicker-cooking items like bell peppers and snap peas later in the process. This ensures everything is evenly cooked and maintains a good texture.
• Taste the sauce before adding it to the stir fry and adjust the seasoning if needed. Add honey for sweetness, rice wine vinegar for more tartness, or soy for deeper umami.
