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

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!
