Smashed Cucumber Salad with Crispy Potstickers

Prep & Cook Time 30 Min Servings 2-3 Recipe by @fationatefoodbelly

The perfect cucumber salad for hot summer days topped with MiLa’s crispy and savory potstickers.


INGREDIENTS

  • 1 English cucumber
  • 15–16 MiLa Chicken Potstickers
  • 1 tbsp Chinese black vinegar
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp chili oil (like Lao Gan Ma)
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 tbsp fried shallots
  • Salt, to brine
  • Water (for boiling)
  • 2 tbsp cooking oil

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Pan fry MiLa potstickers following instructions on the back of the bag.
  2. Smash the cucumber using the side of a knife or rolling pin to create jagged edges, this helps it better absorb the seasoning. Cut into bite-sized pieces.
  3. Sprinkle with salt and let it sit for 10–15 minutes to draw out excess moisture.
  4. While the cucumber is brining, cook the dumplings – add oil and a cup of water to a pan, cover, and cook until the bottoms are golden and crispy.
  5. Rinse the salted cucumber under cold water to remove excess salt, then drain well.
  6. In a large bowl, toss cucumbers with black vinegar, sesame oil, chili oil, and toasted sesame seeds.
  7. Add the crispy potstickers, cherry tomatoes and fried shallots on top, then mix gently to combine.
  8. Serve immediately and enjoy while fresh!
