Equipment

Large mixing bowl
Jar or small bowl for the dressing
Mini whisk
Air Fryer or another way to cook dumplings

Ingredients

300 gram vegetable dumplings or potstickers
370 gram coleslaw mix or a similar amount of homemade mix
1 bunch cilantro or parsley, finely chopped
1 bunch green onion finely chopped

For the dressing

½ cup rice wine vinegar
1½ tbsp sesame oil
3 tbsp soy sauce
3 tbsp sweet chili sauce
4 cloves garlic minced
1 thumb ginger root minced

To serve

Sesame seeds
Chili oil optional

Instructions

Cook your dumplings according to package directions. I prefer to bake or air fry to make them crispy, but you can also steam then pan fry to brown. I air fried mine at 400F for 10 minutes.
While the dumplings cook, combine your dressing ingredients in a jar or bowl.
In a large bowl, add the coleslaw, cilantro, and green onions. Add the cooked dumplings, and pour the dressing over top and mix. Serve with sesame seeds and chili oil, as desired. Best eaten immediately, but you could store in the fridge for up to two days.

Notes

You are more than welcome to prep your veggies at home. Shred cabbage, carrots and (optional) onions that add up to a total of about 350-400 grams.

For soy allergies, check the dumpling ingredients to ensure they don't contain soy. Swap soy sauce for liquid aminos.
If you have a sesame allergy, swap for peanut oil and crushed peanuts to garnish your salad.

Gluten-free? Use dumplings made with rice paper or tapioca. You can even make a smaller version of my zero-waste rice paper dumplings for this salad recipe. Regular soy sauce usually contains gluten, so swap it for tamari or liquid aminos.
Cook dumplings in any way you prefer - steam, fry, air fry etc.
