Gyozas, or potsticker dumplings, are delicious as a snack, but did you know that they are also great with a salad? Scroll down below for an easy recipe for Thai-style rice noodle salad. Add some pan-fried gyozas to make the noodle salad more filling – and on hot days, a cold salad topped with hot gyoza is refreshing and won’t leave you feeling sleepy. Even better, you can make this salad ahead and store it in the fridge until you’re ready to top it with dumplings, so it’s perfect for a weekend lunch or a quick dinner on a busy work night.

TIP: You can use any rice noodles for this salad recipe, we prefer thick bee hoon – the noodles used in laksa recipes – as these hold up better as a noodle nest for the dumplings.
