Do you have a favorite frozen food?? I can’t get enough of these frozen chicken wontons from Trader Joe’s with their soyaki teriyaki sauce. They are perfect for a quick work form home lunch in 20 minutes or less.

You can make this recipe with any mini wontons or pot stickers. The different varieties may be made from different dough, but either work for this recipe.

This stir fry recipe can support a few different veggies, I just added some of my favorites here. So, by all means, have a little fun with it, or if you just need to clear a few things out of the fridge, you can try something different!

Ingredients for this Wonton Stir Fry

To get started, you’ll need Trader Joe’s Mini Wontons, chopped veggies (carrots, cauliflower, shallots, and asparagus spears) and seasonings.

You’ll also need teriyaki sauce to use for the stir fry sauce. And I like to top stir frys with fresh herbs like Thai basil from my Aerogarden.

Last but not least, fresh mashed guacamole made with cilantro makes this a completely satisfying lunch dish.

Let’s Make Trader Joe’s Chicken Cilantro Mini Wontons Stir Fry

Step 1. Make the guacamole ahead for serving stir fry with wontons.

First you will want to remove the skin and pit from avocado. Next, dice avocado and add it to a bowl. Then, add garlic salt, pepper, and cilantro. Use the back of a fork to mash the avocado and blend the seasonings together. Set aside.

Step 2. Then you will heat a medium skillet on the stove to medium-high heat and add olive oil.

Step 3. Next, add raw diced vegetables and frozen potstickers (here I used Trader Joe’s Chicken Cilantro Mini Wontons).

Step 4. Cook the vegetables and pot stickers on the stove for a few minutes, stirring occasionally so the ingredients don’t stick to the pan or burn, and so they cook on all sides.

Step 5. Add the teriyaki sauce to your dish and simmer.

Step 6. Once the wontons are browned, add the teriyaki sauce to the pan. (I used Trader Joe’s Soyaki Teriyaki).

Step 7. Add water, cover, and reduce to medium low.

Step 8. Simmer wontons for 3-5 minutes until almost all of the liquid has evaporated.

Step 9. Remove cover from pan and stir the pot sticker stir fry until all the water evaporates. 

Step 10. Remove the pan from the heat and plate the stir fry. Add the guacamole and a sprinkle of fresh Thai basil to taste.

Serve and enjoy!
