In a large skillet, heat a splash of sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add the frozen potstickers and cook according to package directions, typically about 3-4 minutes until they are golden brown and crispy on the bottom. Then, add a little water to the skillet, cover with a lid, and steam for another 5-6 minutes until heated through. Once done, remove the potstickers and set them aside.

Fill a pot with salted water and bring it to a boil. Add your chosen lo mein noodles or spaghetti, cooking for about 6-8 minutes until they reach an al dente texture, stirring occasionally. Once cooked, drain the noodles in a colander, then return them to the pot and drizzle with sesame oil, tossing them to prevent sticking and keep them flavorful.

Using the same skillet, add another tablespoon of sesame oil and heat over medium heat. Toss in the minced garlic, shredded carrots, and cabbage. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are brightly colored and tender, yet still crisp. Add the baby spinach or chopped bok choy and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the greens have wilted nicely, resulting in a vibrant mix of textures.

Next, add the drained noodles into the skillet with the stir-fried vegetables, mixing everything well. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), rice vinegar, sugar, and freshly cracked black pepper. Pour this flavorful sauce over the noodle mixture, tossing with tongs to coat everything evenly with a glossy sheen.

Gently reintroduce the crispy potstickers back into the skillet with the noodle and vegetable mix. Carefully toss everything together, ensuring the potstickers are warmed through and well combined with the other ingredients. Allow everything to cook together for another minute, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.

Once thoroughly combined, remove the skillet from heat. Serve your Easy One-Pan Potsticker Noodle Bowls hot, garnished with sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds for added crunch. Enjoy the comforting embrace of this vibrant dish that brings the warmth of takeout right into your kitchen!
