Preparation Steps
  1. Fry Dumplings: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the frozen dumplings, turning occasionally, until crispy and golden brown (about 7-8 minutes).
  2. Combine Greens: In a large mixing bowl, toss together the arugula, halved cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, green onions, and thinly sliced onion for a fresh and colorful base.
  3. Whisk Dressing: In a separate bowl, whisk together tamari or soy sauce, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, brown sugar, chili crisp or chili oil, and water until well combined for a flavorful dressing.
  4. Dress Salad: Drizzle the soy dressing over the vibrant salad mixture, then gently toss to ensure everything is evenly coated and the flavors meld beautifully.
  5. Serve: Top the salad with your beautifully fried crispy dumplings, allowing them to shine as the star of this enticing dish. Enjoy your creation!
