Fresh Veggie Salad

prep 15 min : serves 3

• 250g broccoli
• 1 medium carrot, peeled
• 1 small capsicum, deseeded
• a few kale leaves
• Handful of spinach leaves
• 1 baby zucchini
• 2 tbsp natural yoghurt
• 1 tsp honey
• Handful of basil leaves
• Juice of half a lemon
• 2 tbsp roasted chopped walnuts

Instructions

Pork gyoza (dumplings)

prep 20 min : cook 15 min : serves 4

• 400g (14oz)lean pork mince
• 1 cup finely shredded white cabbage
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 3cm piece ginger, peeled, grated
• 2 garlic cloves, crushed
• 30 gow gee wrappers – I used wanton wrappers instead
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• sliced green onions, to serve

Sauce

• ⅓ cup teriyaki sauce
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil

1. Place the pork mince, cabbage, sesame oil, soy sauce, ginger and garlic in a bowl and stir to thoroughly combine.
2. Place the wrappers on a chopping board or clean bench. To make the dumplings, spoon 1 heaped teaspoon of the mince mixture onto one side of the wrapper and brush the edges with cold water. Fold the other half of the wrapper over and pinch the sides together to seal it.
3. Place the dumplings in a well-oiled steamer basket and steam for about 15 minutes. Once they’re cooked, sear one side of each one in a hot fry-pan until crispy.
4. To make the sauce, mix the two ingredients together.

Notes

These can be frozen. Either cook then freeze or if you’re using fresh (not frozen) pork then you can freeze them fresh – pop them on a tray in a single layer and then once frozen you can transfer them to a bag or container.
