A salad featuring crispy-bottomed, tender-topped pan-fried dumplings, crisp green onions, fresh tomatoes, and a zesty garlic chili dressing.

🙋 Recommended for

  • Those who are tired of ordinary pan-fried dumplings and want to transform them into a sophisticated and fresh dish.
  • Those who want a strong and stimulating snack that pairs well with cold carbonated drinks, beer, or highballs.

Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings

  • 9-10 dumplings
  • 2 tomatoes
  • 1 green onion
  • 1 chili pepper
  • 3 tbsp minced garlic
  • Appropriate amount of peperoncino
  • Slightly more than enough cooking oil
  • 2 tbsp vinegar
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • A little salt
  • A little sesame seeds

Recipe 🍳

  1. Peel off the outer layer of the green onion, then slice it diagonally and soak it in cold water to make it crisp and remove its spiciness.
  2. Slice the chili pepper thinly and place it in a bowl. Add 3 tbsp of minced garlic and peperoncino to taste.
  3. Heat cooking oil in a pan until hot, then pour it over the garlic and chili in the bowl to create a pungent chili oil aroma.
  4. Add vinegar, oyster sauce, sugar, and salt to the infused oil and mix well to create a stimulating and delicious dressing.
  5. Drain the green onions and tomatoes that were soaked in water thoroughly using a sieve.
  6. Lightly oil a pan, arrange the dumplings nicely, and once the bottoms are golden brown, add a little water and immediately cover with a lid to cook the tops until tender.
  7. Cut the tomatoes in half into bite-sized pieces.
  8. In a bowl, combine the crisp green onions, well-cooked dumplings, and tomatoes. Pour the prepared dressing over them and toss lightly.
  9. Serve the finished dish on a plate and sprinkle with sesame seeds to garnish.
  1. Slice green onions diagonally and soak in cold water. Cut tomatoes in half.
  2. Pour hot oil over chili peppers, garlic, and peperoncino. Mix with vinegar, oyster sauce, sugar, and salt to make dressing.
  3. Pan-fry dumplings, then add water and cover to cook until tender.
  4. Combine drained vegetables and cooked dumplings with the dressing and toss well.
  5. Serve on a plate and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Cooking tips 💡

  • When the bottom of the dumplings is cooked, adding water and quickly covering with a lid acts as a shield, allowing you to enjoy the best texture: crispy outside and tender inside.
  • The dressing is quite spicy and stimulating, so the burst of fresh tomato juice acts as a balancing kick.
