Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Steam the frozen gyoza dumplings according to the package instructions, typically around 6-8 minutes until they are hot and tender. Transfer them to a mixing bowl and drizzle a little sesame oil over them to prevent sticking.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the tamari, balsamic vinegar, and maple syrup to create the dressing. Whisk together until well blended. Once the dumplings are ready, pour the dressing over them and toss gently.
  3. Cut the heirloom tomatoes into wedges and thinly slice the English cucumber and scallions. Add these chopped vegetables to the bowl with the dumplings and gently mix.
  4. Tear fresh basil leaves over the salad and sprinkle toasted sesame seeds or crispy fried onions on top.
  5. Serve the potsticker salad at room temperature. Add any optional vegetables for an extra nutrition boost and drizzle with garlic chili sauce before serving.
