# Cooking Steps:
01 - Whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and sugar in a small bowl until combined. Set aside.
02 - Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add potstickers flat side down and cook until bottoms are golden brown, approximately 3 minutes.
03 - Add 1/4 cup water to skillet, cover tightly, and steam for 3-4 minutes until water evaporates and potstickers are cooked through. Transfer to plate and keep warm.
04 - Add another tablespoon of oil to skillet if needed. Sauté garlic, ginger, bell pepper, snap peas, carrots, and mushrooms for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp.
05 - Return potstickers to skillet. Pour prepared sauce over ingredients and toss gently to coat. Cook for 2 minutes until sauce thickens slightly.
