Ingredients

Main Ingredients

18-20 units Frozen vegan gyoza
400 g Cherry tomatoes (mixed)
1 grande Pepino japonês
1/2 cup Fresh cilantro
2 stalks Green onions

Ingredients for the Chili Oil Dressing

3 tablespoons Toasted sesame oil
2 tablespoons Soy sauce (or Tamari for gluten-free)
2 tablespoons Vinagre de arroz
1 tablespoon Agave Syrup (or maple)
2 cloves Garlic
1 teaspoon Fresh grated ginger
1/2-1 teaspoon Chili flakes (or crushed red pepper)
1/4 teaspoon Sea salt
1/4 teaspoon Black pepper

Instructions

Prepare the cucumber: Wash the cucumber and cut it into thick slices or irregular chunks. With the side of a wide knife or a pestle, gently crush each piece until it starts to crack. This helps it absorb the sauce better and releases more flavor. Season with a pinch of salt and let rest for 5 minutes, then squeeze out the excess water. The professional technique is to release moisture to concentrate the flavor.

Cozinhe os dumplings: Em uma frigideira antiaderente, adicione um fio de óleo vegetal. Quando estiver quente, coloque os dumplings congelados em uma única camada. Doure a base por 2-3 minutos até ficarem crocantes. Adicione 1/4 xícara de água, tampe e cozinhe por 5-7 minutos, ou até a água evaporar e os dumplings estarem macios e cozidos por dentro. Retire da frigideira e reserve.

Prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, combine all the sauce ingredients: sesame oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, agave syrup, minced garlic, grated ginger, chili flakes, salt, and black pepper. Mix well with a fork until a smooth emulsion is obtained. Taste and adjust seasonings to your personal preference. The short answer is: balance is key here.

Assemble the salad: In a large bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes (cut in half, if you prefer), the smashed cucumber, and the chopped fresh cilantro. Add the cooked dumplings and the chili sauce. Gently toss so all ingredients are well coated in the dressing. The secret to this recipe is to mix right before serving to keep the dumplings crispy.

Finalize e sirva: Transfira a salada para um prato de servir bonito. Finalize com a cebolinha verde picada e, se desejar, mais alguns flocos de chili para um toque extra de calor. Sirva imediatamente e aproveite este prato vibrante e saboroso. Esta salada é leve, mas incrivelmente satisfatória.

Chef Tips

- Cook the frozen gyozas directly in the skillet with hot oil for 2 minutes before splashing water and covering. - Drain the water purged by the salted cucumber before adding the vinaigrette to avoid diluting the salad dressing. - Assemble the crispy gyozas over the vegetables only at the moment of serving to preserve the crispy texture.

Variations

- Add toasted white and black sesame seeds over the finished dish to enrich the look. - Add thinly sliced fresh chili pepper or chili crisp oil for intense heat. - Mix fresh mint and Thai basil leaves along with the cilantro for a vibrant aromatic profile.

Substitutions

- Vegan gyozas can be replaced with pork loin gyozas, chicken gyozas, or fried wontons. - Traditional soy sauce can be substituted with tamari for a strictly gluten-free option. - Agave syrup can be substituted with pure honey or brown sugar diluted in shoyu.

How to Store

Keep the seasoned vegetables in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Prepare and brown the gyozas in the skillet only when ready to eat to keep the bottom crust perfectly crispy.

Can You Freeze It?

Keep the gyozas raw in the freezer until ready to fry. Do not freeze the assembled salad with fresh cucumbers and tomatoes, as the vegetables soften and lose crunchiness.

What to Serve With

Pairs perfectly with cold Japanese beer like Asahi or Kirin, dry sake, iced jasmine tea, or boiled edamame.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the secret to getting frozen gyoza with a crispy skin?

Place the frozen gyoza directly into the hot oil in the skillet and cook until the bottom is golden brown, about 2 minutes; add 3 tablespoons of water, cover immediately for 4 minutes to cook the filling, and uncover until dry.

Why should you smash the cucumber instead of just slicing it?

The impact cracks the cell walls creating irregular edges and deep crevices that absorb the soy sauce and sesame dressing much better than smooth surfaces cut with a knife.

Posso preparar os gyozas cozidos apenas no vapor?

Pode cozinhar no vapor, mas o grande diferencial desta salada é o contraste textural entre o fundo dourado estaladiço dos pastéis quentes e o frescor gelado dos vegetais crus.

How do I keep cherry tomatoes from releasing water in the salad?

Keep the tomatoes whole or only cut them in half right before pouring the sauce, preventing the salt from dehydrating the flesh before the dish reaches the table.
