How To Make My 3-Ingredient Dumpling Salad

To make two to three servings, follow this recipe.

For two hearty servings, use the lower amount of dumplings.

Up the dumplings for three medium servings.

You’ll need:

Prepare the dumplings according to the package directions.

Add the dumplings, seam side-up, and let crisp a bit on the bottom.

Add about 1/3 cup of water to the pan and immediately cover with a lid.

Lower the heat to medium-low and steam the dumplings until they are translucent all over.

Remove the lid and let any moisture cook off, crisping the bottoms again.

Meanwhile, prepare the salad.

Add the contents to a large bowl, along with the dressing and chili crisp, and toss well.

Divide between bowls and serve.

Sometimes Ill throw a couple of types of dumplings in the pan, just for fun!

it’s possible for you to easily upgrade this salad however you like.

Steamed edamame is a nice addition, as are freshly chopped green onions and cilantro.

I often toss in toasted sesame seeds if the salad kit doesnt include them.

Try different combos until you find your favorite.
