Ingredients

  • 300 g vegetable dumplings or potstickers or a gluten-free option
  • 370 g coleslaw mix or shredded cabbage carrots and optional onions
  • 1 bunch cilantro or parsley finely chopped
  • 1 bunch green onion finely chopped

For the dressing:

  • ½ cup rice wine vinegar

  • 3 tablespoon sweet chili sauce
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 thumb ginger root minced

To serve:

  • Sesame seeds optional

Instructions

  • Cook the dumplings according to the package instructions. For extra crispiness, air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 10 minutes, or steam and pan fry to your preference.
  • While the dumplings cook, prepare the dressing by whisking together the rice wine vinegar, sesame oil, soy sauce, sweet chili sauce, garlic, and minced ginger in a small bowl or jar.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the coleslaw mix, cilantro (or parsley), and green onions.
  • Once the dumplings are cooked and crispy, add them to the salad bowl. Pour the dressing over the top and toss everything together to coat.
  • Serve the salad immediately, garnished with sesame seeds and chili oil if desired.
