Tony and I used to make potstickers regularly. They’re naturally dairy-free, delicious, and fun to make. But then we got busy, and lazy, and resorted to buying frozen when cravings hit. I’m sure many of you run into the same issue with dinner, so I was excited when this deconstructed potsticker noodles recipe appeared. It’s a great solution to enjoy all of the flavor without any of the fuss.
Deconstructed Potsticker Noodles to Stir Up Your Dairy-Free Dinners
This recipe was shared with us by McCormick. They also created this fun infographic that gives a great overview of the most popular types of Asian noodles.
For this dish, they chose to use udon noodles. They’re thick and chewy, so they hold up well with the stock addition. And they pair very well with potsticker flavors. But ramen, soba, or lo mein noodles would also be great. In a pinch, you can use spaghetti – we won’t tell!
You also can’t go wrong with rice noodles, which are naturally gluten-free. In the infographic abov, they show thin rice noodles, but I prefer the rice noodle sticks or even wide rice noodles for recipes like this one.

Looks yummy! Can I freeze leftovers?
If you typically freeze cooked noodles, then it might be okay for your tastes. I don’t personally like noodles in broth or sauces that are frozen.
