Ingredients
Scale
Potstickers
- 12–15 potstickers (steamed or pan-fried)
Vegetables and Herbs
- 2 cups shredded napa cabbage
- 1 cup julienned carrots
- 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
Dressing
- 1/4 cup grape juice (natural)
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil (natural)
- 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent-based dressing
Garnish
- 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
Instructions
- Prepare the Potstickers: Cook your potstickers according to package instructions, lightly pan-frying them until golden and crispy on one side and tender inside. Once cooked, let them cool slightly before slicing into halves or quarters for easier mixing in the salad.
- Chop and Prep the Vegetables: While the potstickers cook, shred napa cabbage and julienne carrots to add a fresh crunch. Chop cilantro and green onions finely to sprinkle that herby zing throughout the dish.
- Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together grape juice (natural), apple cider vinegar, sesame oil (natural), vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), and natural gelling agent-based dressing for smoothness. Adjust seasonings according to taste to balance sweet, tangy, and savory notes.
- Toss Everything Together: Combine the sliced potstickers with the fresh veggies and herbs in a large bowl. Drizzle the dressing evenly and toss gently until every bite is coated, careful not to break the dumplings.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds on top and serve immediately for the best texture contrast and flavor experience.
