Dumpling Salad Tips and Tricks for the Perfect Salad
- Dumplings: The star of this dish is the Urban Eats Honey Soy Dumplings. Make sure they’re cooked perfectly – golden brown on the outside and juicy on the inside.
- Coriander: Fresh coriander is key. It adds an irresistible aroma and flavour that ties the whole salad together.
- Spring Onions: Don’t skimp on the spring onions. They add a nice crunch and a subtle oniony kick.
- Peanut Butter: Use smooth peanut butter for a creamy dressing, but if you like a bit of texture, go for crunchy.
- Chillies: If you can handle a bit of spice, definitely add the red chillies. They give the dressing a delightful kick.
Serving and Pairing Suggestions
This salad is pretty filling on its own, but if you’re serving it as part of a larger meal, here are some great pairing ideas:
Grilled Chicken: The smoky flavour of grilled chicken complements the sweet and savoury salad beautifully.
Jasmine Rice: A side of steamed jasmine rice can make this a more substantial meal.
Chilled White Wine: A crisp, chilled Sauvignon Blanc or Riesling pairs wonderfully with the fresh, vibrant flavours of the salad.
