Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Begin by steaming the frozen gyoza dumplings according to the package instructions, usually about 8-10 minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk together low-sodium tamari, balsamic vinegar, and maple syrup until well combined, about 30 seconds.
While the dumplings are steaming, chop the heirloom tomatoes into wedges and slice the English cucumber and scallions thinly.
Once the dumplings are ready and properly oiled, gently add them to the bowl with your chopped vegetables.
Just before serving, tear fresh basil leaves over the top of the salad and sprinkle toasted sesame seeds or crispy fried onions.

Notes

Dumplings can also be pan-fried or air-fried for extra crunch. Serve at room temperature for best flavors. Prepare dumplings a day in advance—mix them with dressing but hold off on adding fresh veggies until just before serving for maximum freshness.
