Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Heat a generous amount of cooking oil in a pan over medium heat. Carefully place the frozen dumplings in the hot oil. Fry them until they are golden brown and crispy on both sides, turning them occasionally. Ensure the dumpling skins achieve a beautiful golden hue for that perfect crispy exterior and tender interior texture.
Step 2
While the dumplings are frying, thoroughly wash all the prepared vegetables (onion, carrot, bell peppers, lettuce, cucumber). Once clean and drained, thinly slice them into julienne strips. Using a variety of colored bell peppers will make the dish visually appealing and add more flavor dimensions.
Step 3
In a mixing bowl, combine all the julienned vegetables. Add all the ingredients for the dressing (soy sauce, oligosaccharide, sesame oil, red pepper flakes, vinegar, sesame seeds). Gently toss the vegetables with your hands to ensure they are evenly coated with the dressing. The goal is to mix them without making them mushy, preserving their fresh crunch.
