Ingredients

Scale

Pot Stickers

  • 10–12 pot stickers (frozen or freshly made)

Vegetables

  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 medium cucumber, thinly sliced
  • ¼ cup red onion, thinly sliced

Herbs

  • ¼ cup fresh basil or cilantro, roughly chopped

Optional Ingredients

  • 1 cup panzanella bread or croutons (optional)
  • Toasted sesame seeds or chopped peanuts for garnish (optional)

Dressing

  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • Pinch of salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook the Pot Stickers: Pan-fry the pot stickers in a little oil over medium heat until one side is crisp and golden. Add a splash of water, cover, and steam for about 5 minutes until cooked through and tender.
  2. Prepare the Vegetables: While cooking the pot stickers, halve the cherry tomatoes, thinly slice the cucumber and red onion, and roughly chop the fresh basil or cilantro.
  3. Make the Dressing: Whisk together rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, and a pinch of salt and pepper until well combined and balanced.
  4. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, toss the cooked pot stickers, prepared vegetables, herbs, and optional panzanella bread or croutons. Drizzle the dressing over and gently mix to coat everything evenly.
  5. Serve Immediately: Enjoy the salad fresh to keep the pot stickers crispy and the vegetables crunchy and refreshing.

Notes

  • Pan-fry pot stickers before steaming to achieve the perfect crispy texture.
  • Use fresh, crisp vegetables and herbs for vibrant flavor and color.
  • Add dressing gradually to avoid soggy bread or veggies.
  • Let the salad rest briefly to meld flavors but serve before pot stickers lose their crunch.
  • Try swapping basil with mint or cilantro to customize the salad’s aroma.
