20 Minute Potstickers in Red Curry Garlic Broth.

20 Minute Potstickers in Red Curry Garlic Broth. Sesame oil, scallions, garlic, ginger, and chili flakes, all cooked together to create a flavorful, mildly spicy garlic oil. Mix with fresh Thai basil, cilantro, tamari, and a couple of cups of broth. Add frozen potstickers, and suddenly you have a restaurant worthy dinner in 20 minutes. These are the most delicious, saucy potstickers. We all love them!

I feel like so many of my recipes start out with a childhood memory. I draw a lot of inspiration from the dishes I enjoy as a kid. And potstickers feel like a classic Jenny Gerard (also my mom) lunch or dinner.

Oftentimes, during the winter, when I was lucky enough to get home before my brothers from school, Mom and I would enjoy an after-snack meal of frozen potstickers. She probably picked hers up from Sam’s Club or our local grocery store, Marc’s, where we used to shop.

Who knows what was really in those, but we certainly loved them doused in soy sauce.

We don’t eat potstickers very often. Probably because I have to make them by hand. I just don’t love the options at our local grocery store (sadly, we don’t have a Trader Joe’s but I hear their frozen dumplings are top-notch!).

When I make the potstickers at home, I always make simple chicken potstickers, then throw a batch or two in the freezer for easy dinners later on.

I love to make this saucy oil/broth anytime I have frozen potstickers handy! This is everyone’s favorite. They love when I serve these potstickers for dinner!
