Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Removing the cucumber core and salting prevents sogginess and maximizes crunch.
  • Steaming bean sprouts with just half a cup of water for only 1 minute preserves their crunch and nutrients.
  • Adding a bit of peanut butter to the mustard sauce adds body and a rich, nutty finish after the initial spiciness.
  • Serving in a fried dumpling wrapper basket (using ladles to shape) elevates the presentation for guests.

Recommended for

  • Those seeking a refreshing, tangy, and spicy dish to awaken the appetite during summer.
  • Those wanting a rich and sophisticated cold salad with a peanut butter-infused mustard sauce.
  • Those looking to impress guests with an Instagram-worthy dish served in a dumpling wrapper basket.
