Pot Sticker Salad With Snap Peas

Ingredients

1 1-pound bag frozen pot stickers
3/4 pound sugar snap peas, trimmed (about 4 cups)
2 medium carrots, sliced
1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1/4 pound bean sprouts (about 1 1/2 cups)
1/4 cup roasted peanuts, chopped
2 scallions, sliced

Directions

Fill a large saucepan with 1 inch of water and fit with a steamer basket (or fill a large skillet with 1/2 inch of water). Bring the water to a boil. Place the pot stickers in the basket (or skillet), cover, and steam for 4 minutes.
Add the snap peas and carrots, cover, and steam until the pot stickers are cooked through and the vegetables are tender, 4 to 6 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the soy sauce and sesame oil.
Divide the bean sprouts among bowls and top with the pot stickers and vegetables. Sprinkle with the peanuts and scallions. Serve with the sauce.

I substituted hot chili sesame oil to kick it up(use less than a tablespoon if you want it milder) and added about 1/2 teaspoon of minced garlic in the soy sauce mixture and let it sit for about 5 minutes to let the flavors infuse. I also added shiitake mushrooms and bamboo shoots to add some fiber (and because I love those flavors).YUMMY! I love potstickers, and this was a creative way to add more vegetables and fiber to my meal. I didn't use them this time since I didn't have them on hand, but I've seen whole wheat chicken potstickers at some grocery stores that were surprisingly good.
