Cooking Steps
-
Preheat air fryer to 375 degrees. Spray bottom of the 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 3). Lightly spray gyoza with 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 Instructions: Heat 1 TBSP cooking oil in a large pan over high heat. Add gyoza, flat sides down, and ⅓ cup water (½ cup water for 4) to pan (be careful of splatter!); cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and cook until water evaporates and bottoms of gyoza are crispy, 5-6 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, halve cucumbers lengthwise; slice into ½-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.

Review summary
Updated on Sep 2026- Flavor: The gyoza were widely praised for their great flavor and satisfying crunch, though some found the red cabbage salad too bitter or the overall dressing too sweet and salty.
- Ease of prep: This comes together very quickly — air-frying the gyoza is hands-off, and the salad needs no cooking at all.
- Suggestions: Air-fry the gyoza a little longer for extra crispness to prevent sogginess; if you don't have an air fryer, pan-frying works but requires extra attention to avoid sticking. Some reviewers added avocado, green onion, fresh ginger, or seasoned rice vinegar to boost flavor and bulk up the salad.
- Portions: Many felt the portion was better suited to lunch than dinner, with the cabbage mix in particular feeling too small for two people.
