Description
Get all the potsticker flavor—without rolling or folding! This Deconstructed Potsticker Noodle Bowl is a quick, one-pan dinner with savory seasoned ground chicken, tender wheat noodles, and a crisp cabbage-carrot slaw for fresh crunch. Warm ginger, garlic, mushrooms, and toasted sesame oil make it taste better than takeout—perfect for busy weeknights.
Ingredients
1 lb ground chicken (or ground turkey)
8 oz fresh Shanghai-style wheat noodles (or lo mein noodles)
2 tbsp neutral oil (canola/avocado/vegetable)
1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
4 oz mushrooms, sliced
2 cups green or napa cabbage, thinly sliced
1 medium carrot, shredded
4 green onions, sliced
Instructions
1. Cook noodles according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
2. Heat neutral oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
3. Add ground chicken and cook 6–8 minutes, breaking it up, until fully cooked and lightly browned.
4. Stir in garlic and ginger; cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
5. Add sliced mushrooms and sauté 2–3 minutes until softened.
6. Drizzle in toasted sesame oil and stir to coat.
7. Add cooked noodles and toss 1–2 minutes until everything is well combined and hot.
8. Add cabbage, shredded carrot, and green onions; toss 30–60 seconds so the slaw stays crisp (slightly wilted, not soft).
9. Taste and adjust with a little more sesame oil if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
No pork version: ground chicken or turkey works perfectly and stays family-friendly.
Keep the slaw crisp: add cabbage + carrot at the very end and toss briefly.
Noodle swap: lo mein noodles, spaghetti, or linguine all work in a pinch.
Meal prep: store leftovers up to 3 days; reheat with a splash of water to loosen noodles.
