step by step

Method

  1. Make the sesame-soy dressing

    • In a bowl or jar, combine the tamari (or all-purpose soy sauce), rice wine vinegar, sesame oil, freshly minced garlic, freshly grated ginger and brown sugar.
    • Add the toasted sesame seeds, chilli oil crisp, finely sliced spring onion and finely chopped coriander.
    • Pour in 2–3 tbsp of water and whisk or shake until well combined and slightly loosened.
    • Taste and adjust — for kids or a simpler version, mix just sesame oil, rice wine vinegar and tamari.
    Step 1
  2. Pan-fry the dumplings

    • Heat a little vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat.
    • Add the vegetable dumplings in a single layer and pan-fry until golden and crisp on the base.
    • Add a splash of water, cover and steam until the dumplings are cooked through and the wrappers are chewy.
    • Cook in batches if needed so they don't crowd the pan.
    Step 2
  3. Assemble the salad

    • Arrange the salad greens in a large bowl or on plates.
    • Add the hot pan-fried dumplings on top of the greens.
    • Drizzle generously with the sesame-soy dressing.
    • Finish with extra chilli oil crisp and a few extra sesame seeds if you like.
    Step 3
  4. Serve

    • Toss gently at the table so the chewy dumplings meet the fresh salad and dressing.
    • Serve straight away while the dumplings are still warm.
