Cooking Steps

1
  • Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. Cut pumpkin into bite-sized chunks. Thinly slice red radish.
  • Place pumpkin on a lined oven tray. Season with salt and drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat.
  • Roast until tender, 20-25 minutes.

TIP: Peel the pumpkin if you prefer and scrape out the seeds, if necessary!

2
  • Using a meat mallet or rolling pin, smash cucumbers until they split open on the sides, then roughly chop.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the vinegar (for the pickle) and a good pinch of sugar and salt.
  • Add cucumber to pickling liquid. Add enough water to just cover cucumber. Set aside.
Cook the veggie gyoza
3
  • Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil.
  • When the oil is hot, add vegetable gyoza, flat-side down, in a single layer.
  • Cook until starting to brown, 1-2 minutes. Add the water (for the gyoza) and cover with a lid or foil (watch out, the water may spatter!).
  • Cook until the water has evaporated and gyoza are tender and softened, 4-5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and cover to keep warm.
4
  • Wipe out frying pan and return to medium-high heat.
  • To the pan, add peanut butter and the water (for the sauce), whisk until well combined, 1 minute.
  • Remove from heat, and add sesame dressing, the vinegar (for the salad), brown sugar and low sodium soy sauce, stirring to combine.
5
  • In a large bowl, combine smashed cucumber, roasted pumpkin, mixed salad leaves and Japanese style dressing. Season with salt and pepper. 
6
  • Divide cucumber and pumpkin salad between bowls.
  • Top with pan fried veggie gyozas and spoon over sesame peanut dressing.
  • Tear over coriander to serve. Sprinkle over mixed sesame seeds. Enjoy!
