Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. Begin by steaming the frozen gyoza dumplings according to the package instructions, usually around 8–10 minutes, until they are tender and heated through.
  2. Carefully transfer the dumplings to a mixing bowl and drizzle with a teaspoon of sesame oil, tossing gently to coat.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the tamari, balsamic vinegar, and maple syrup until well combined.
  4. Pour the dressing over the warm dumplings, allowing the heat to meld the flavors while you gather the fresh ingredients.
  5. Slice the heirloom tomatoes and cucumber into bite-sized pieces, and chop the scallions into thin rings.
  6. Gently fold the chopped tomatoes, cucumber, scallions, and optional chili pepper into the bowl with the dumplings.
  7. Toss everything together to ensure the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
  8. Tear fresh basil leaves and sprinkle them over the assembled salad and add toasted sesame seeds or crispy fried onions for garnish.
  9. Serve your Potsticker Salad immediately at room temperature.
