Instructions
Salad
  1. Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the noodles, and return to a boil, stirring occasionally, until the noodles has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite. Place in a colander and run cold water on the noodles to keep from cooking, let drain thoroughly.
  2. In a large bowl combine the sesame oil, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, chili oil, and sugar; whisk until smooth. Toss the noodles in the dressing, then sprinkle with sesame seeds and green onion.
Potstickers
  1. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook ginger, cabbage, carrots, salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder. Once vegetables are soft, remove from heat and cool.
  2. Once mixture is cool, add cilantro, soy sauce, sesame oil, mirin, and sugar. Mix well.
  3. Place a spoonful of the mixture onto a wonton wrapper. Dip your finger in water and run it around the edge of the dough. Fold in half and pinch together, pleating the dough as you go.
  4. If needed add more oil to the skillet and place dumplings in the oil. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until a crust has started to form on the bottom. Pour the water in the pan and cover with a lid. Steam for 6-8 minutes, remove the lid and remove from the pan.
