Cooking Steps
• Preheat air fryer to 375 degrees. Spray bottom of air fryer basket with nonstick cooking spray. Place gyoza in a single layer in air fryer basket (reserve gyoza sauce packet for use in Step 2). Lightly spray gyoza with nonstick cooking spray. Air fry gyoza until lightly browned and warmed through, 5-6 minutes. (For 4 servings, you may need to cook in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.) • PAN FRYING ALTERNATIVE: Heat 1 TBSP cooking oil in a large pan over high heat. Add gyoza, flat sides down, and 1⁄3 cup water (1⁄2 cup for 4) to pan (be careful of splatter!); cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and cook until water has evaporated and bottoms of gyoza are crispy, 5-6 minutes.
• Meanwhile, wash and dry produce. • Halve cucumbers lengthwise; slice into 1⁄2-inch- thick half-moons. Tear or roughly chop cilantro leaves and stems. • In a large bowl, combine cucumbers, cabbage and carrot mix, sweet soy glaze, gyoza sauce, sesame seeds, and half the cilantro. Season with salt and pepper. Toss to combine.
• Crush peanuts in their package (we used a rolling pin!). Transfer gyoza to bowl with salad; toss to combine. • Divide gyoza salad between bowls. Garnish with peanuts, remaining cilantro, and Sriracha to taste. Serve.
Poultry is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 165°.

Reviews from our home cooks
The gyoza were very tasty and came out perfectly cooked in the pan. The salad was nice and crunchy, the flavorful dressing pulled it all together for a very enjoyable meal. Tough to believe each serving was only 400cal. Would definitely order again
This combination of gyoza and red cabbage salad was surprisingly delicious! I figured I would like it, but it was completely divine. Plus it was wildly simple to compile.
This was amazing! So easy and delicious. My 12 year old loved it and he's a bit picky sometimes. First time for him trying gyoza and it was a hit with the whole house. Plus, so fast! Air fryer worked perfectly for crispy gyoza.
This turned out wonderfully well. I don't like cilantro, so I left that out, but the salad still had plenty of flavor. I did use the air fryer for the gyoza and it came out perfect and crispy.
Really great dish! I was only sad that by the time I got to making this one, the cucumbers were all wrinkly and I could bend them with little force, so I chose to leave them out. The gyoza was super tasty, however I did cook mine a little longer than the recipe says to just for more of a crunchy texture.
I had been sick and did not feel like cooking or really even eating but I needed to get something in me. This came together extremely quickly and easily with no cutting up vegetables. Just throw the gyoza in a pan with a little oil until they're crispy on the bottom then throw them in the cabbage salad with all the sauces/dressings they give you. Fast, easy and very tasty for someone who was getting over the flu. It brought my appetite back. Plus I didn't have to stand at the stove for long as I was still a bit weak. And God, it tastes good!
Really delicious. I actually dried the gyoza off really well and tossed them with oil (in the dried package they came in) before putting them in the air fryer. I only removed a star because the only thing I hate about these kits with cabbage is that they're shredded way too big for eating raw. I have to pick out all of the really thick pieces, which doesn't leave much, and mix it with the other ingredients at the very beginning so that it has time to soften at least a little bit. Even then it's still way too bitter.
Gyoza instructions differed slightly from what was on the package, but we figured it out. Really delicious dipping sauce! We added some to the salad.
Another favorite. The salad was fresh and enjoyable. The gyoza was a wonderful contrast to the salad. The final touch was dressing
Loved the flavors! I didn't have an air fryer so just pan fried the gyoza and they were delicious!
