Method
 

Cooking Steps
  1. Start by steaming the frozen gyoza dumplings according to the package instructions, typically taking about 8-10 minutes until they're fully cooked and tender. Toss with sesame oil to prevent sticking.
  2. While the dumplings cook, whisk together tamari, balsamic vinegar, and maple syrup in a mixing bowl until smooth.
  3. Wash and chop the heirloom tomatoes into wedges, slice the English cucumber, and thinly slice the scallions. Fold these vegetables into the cooked dumplings, adding red chili pepper if using.
  4. Tear fresh basil leaves over the salad and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.
  5. Your Potsticker Salad is ready to serve! Customize with garlic chili sauce on the side if desired.
