- 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic, mashed
- 2 teaspoons freshly grated ginger (or 1 teaspoon ground ginger)
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 1 tablespoon coconut sugar
- 1 teaspoon chili crisp or salsa macha
- 2 green onions, finely chopped

- For the Salad:
- 3 cups napa cabbage, finely chopped

- 2 green onions, finely sliced
- 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
- 3/4 cup baby tomatoes, halved
- 1/3 cup roasted peanuts, chopped
- 16 frozen dumplings
Instructions
- Prepare the dumplings by pan-frying them according to the package instructions and set aside.
- Make the dressing by combining soy sauce (or coconut aminos), rice vinegar, toasted sesame oil, garlic, ginger, sesame seeds, coconut sugar, chili crisp, green onions, and cilantro in a bowl. Whisk until fully combined. If you prefer a thinner dressing, add 2-3 tablespoons of water until the desired consistency is reached.
- For the salad, wash and chop the napa cabbage and Persian cucumbers. Add them to a large bowl with the purple onion, green onion, cilantro, and baby tomatoes.
- Top the salad with the prepared dumplings and pour the dressing over everything. Toss to coat the dumplings and salad evenly with the dressing.
- Garnish with chopped roasted peanuts, then serve and enjoy!
Notes
- If you’d like a spicier salad, add more chili crisp or salsa macha to the dressing.
- This salad is best served immediately for crispy dumplings, but you can prepare the dressing and veggies in advance for quick assembly later.
- You can use any type of frozen dumplings you prefer, such as pork, chicken, or vegetable-filled dumplings.
