Speedy Sriracha Rainbow Dumpling Salad

The salad that’s going to be on repeat this spring/summer. Quick, vibrant, and full of texture, this dumpling salad is a go-to for anyone wanting a fast, fuss-free lunch/dinner that still feels fresh and exciting. Crispy on the outside, soft and savoury on the inside, the gyozas get a colourful lift with crunchy, smacked cucumber, peppery radishes, a scattering of toasted sesame seeds, spring onions and carrot for extra crunch and freshness. To finish, everything gets a spicy kick with a touch of sweetness from the fermented chillies in Dr. Will’s Sriracha Hot Sauce, perfectly balanced to bring heat, tang, and a touch of richness to every bite. The Hot Sauce is turned into an easy dressing spiked with ginger, a dash of rice vinegar and sesame oil.

Ingredients

vegetable gyoza dumplings 270 g
Dr. Will's sriracha hot sauce 4 tbsp
sesame oil 2 tbsp
honey 2 tsp
rice vinegar 1 tbsp
cucumber ½
carrot 4 (sliced)
radish 100 g (sliced)
spring onions 4 (sliced)
fresh mint 1 handful (chopped)
sesame seeds 4 tbsp (toasted)
pomegranate seeds 4 tbsp
ginger paste 1 tsp

Method

Cook the dumplings

Heat a dash of oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Add the vegetable gyoza dumplings flat side down and cook for 4 minutes until the bottoms crisp up.
Add 4–5 tablespoons water, pop on a lid, and steam for 3–4 minutes until heated through and slightly soft.

Make the dressing

In a small bowl, mix Dr. Will’s Sriracha Hot Sauce with the sesame oil, ginger paste, honey (or you can use maple syrup) and rice vinegar. Taste and adjust for desired sweetness and heat.

Prep the rest of the ingredients

Smacked cucumber - slice the cucumber in half lengthways and remove the seeds with a teaspoon. Then with a rolling pin, or another heavy object, smack the skin side of the cucumber so it’s 'smacked', then chop it.
Thinly slice the carrots, radishes and spring onions. Chop the fresh mint leaves.

Assemble the salad & Plate Up

In a large bowl, combine the cucumber, carrots, radishes, and spring onions.
Add the gyozas and toss gently with the dressing.
Sprinkle over the toasted sesame seeds and pomegranate seeds then plate up and enjoy!
