Ingredients

Dumpling Salad

  • 1 pack frozen dumplings (10-15 large dumplings)
  • 1 cup shredded purple cabbage
  • 1 cup carrots, julienned
  • 1/2 cup spring onions, sliced
  • 1 large red chili, chopped

Red Curry Dressing

  • 2 tbsp red curry paste
  • 1 tbsp vegan fish sauce
  • 1 tbsp light soy sauce
  • squeeze calamansi lime / regular lime
  • 1 tsp minced ginger
  • olive oil to fry paste
  • 3 tbsp coconut cream

Garnish

  • 1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
  • 2 limes

Instructions

  • Prepare the vegetables required for the salad.
  • Prepare the dumplings according to the package instructions. You can steam, boil, or pan-fry them until cooked through and golden brown.
  • If pan frying them, do so in a splash of olive oil until the bottom is browned. Add a splash of water and cover the lid for dumplings to cook through fully. Once cooked, set them aside to cool slightly.
  • Prepare the red curry sauce: fry red curry paste in olive oil. Add minced ginger and saute for a minute. Add vegan fish sauce, soy sauce, calamansi lime juice, coconut cream and mix well.
  • Add a splash of water and cook the sauce for a few minutes.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded purple cabbage, julienned carrots, chopped spring onions, sliced red chilies and dumplings. Toss gently to mix the ingredients.
  • Drizzle the red curry dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine, ensuring the dumplings are coated.
  • Top the salad with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges. Enjoy immediately!
