Easy Dumpling & Smashed Cucumber Salad πŸ₯ŸπŸ₯’ β…“ cup smooth peanut butter 1 tsp minced garlic Β½ cup boiling water 2 tbsp soy sauce 1 tbsp rice vinegar 2 tsp granulated sugar 2 tsp chili oil 6 Persian cucumbers Salt Vegetable oil 1 pound frozen dumplings Fresh cilantro First, make the sauce. Add the peanut butter, garlic, and hot water to a bowl and whisk to combine. Add soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, and chili oil and whisk again until smooth and well combined. Next, make the salad. Slice the cucumbers in half lengthwise, then into 2-inch lengths. Lay them cut side down on a cutting board and smack them until they break apart using a rolling pin. Place them in a colander and sprinkle with salt, then allow them to sit for 10 minutes to draw out extra moisture. Then, make the dumplings. Heat a large skillet over medium-high and add the oil. Once the oil is hot, add the dumplings flat side down and cook until the bottoms are golden brown. Then, lower the heat to medium-low and carefully add about a ΒΌ cup of water to the pan. Cover the dumplings and cook until the water has evaporated, about 6 minutes (or follow package directions). To serve, we combined the cucumbers, dumplings, and peanut sauce in a large mixing bowl and spooned it into our OmieBox UP thermos. Packed with apple slices and pretzels for a satisfying and healthy lunch! β™₯️ Recipes from nytcooking #omielife #omiebox #kidslunchideas #bentobox ## Stats - **Views:** 7,798 - **Likes:** 102 - **Shares:** 0 - **Comments:** 0 ## Tags bentobox, omiebox, kidslunchideas, omielife --- Copyright (c) Gondola
