Ingredients

Scale

For the Dumplings

  • 1 lb frozen gyoza dumplings (choose your favorite brand)

For the Veggies

  • 1 lb heirloom tomatoes (variety in color is appealing)
  • 1 English cucumber (adds crunch)
  • 5 scallions (mild onion flavor)
  • 1 red chili pepper (adjust to taste for desired heat)
  • 1/2 cup basil leaves (provides a fragrant touch)

For the Dressing

  • 3 Tbsp Tamari (gluten-free soy sauce alternative)
  • 2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar (adds tangy sweetness)
  • 2–3 tsp maple syrup (sweeten to taste)

For the Garnish

  • 1 Tbsp toasted sesame seeds (adds nuttiness)
  • Garlic chili sauce (optional for extra spice)

Instructions

  1. Steam the dumplings: Steam the gyoza dumplings according to the package instructions until cooked through and tender. Once steamed, transfer them to a bowl and toss gently with a teaspoon of sesame oil to prevent sticking and add flavor.
  2. Prepare the dressing: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the Tamari, balsamic vinegar, and maple syrup until well combined and smooth.
  3. Combine dumplings with dressing: Pour the prepared dressing over the steamed dumplings and toss gently to coat all dumplings evenly.
  4. Prep the vegetables: Cut the heirloom tomatoes into wedges, slice the English cucumber thinly, and slice the scallions. Thinly slice the red chili pepper according to desired heat.
  5. Add vegetables to dumplings: Add the tomatoes, cucumber, scallions, and chili pepper to the dressed dumplings. Toss gently to mix.
  6. Add basil and garnish: Tear the fresh basil leaves and sprinkle them over the salad. Finally, add toasted sesame seeds for a crunchy finish.
  7. Customize and serve: Optionally, add more fresh vegetables of choice or serve with garlic chili sauce for an extra kick of spice.

Notes

  • Use a variety of heirloom tomatoes for a colorful presentation and diverse flavor.
  • Adjust the amount of red chili pepper according to your spice preference.
  • Maple syrup sweetness can be adjusted to balance the tanginess of balsamic vinegar.
  • Steaming gyoza ensures they stay tender and moist, avoiding any frying oil or heaviness.
  • Garnish with toasted sesame seeds fresh for maximum crunch and nutty aroma.
  • For a gluten-free option, ensure the gyoza dumplings you use are gluten-free.
