Halve the cucumber lengthwise and thinly slice on an angle. Thinly slice the capsicum. Thinly slice the spring onion on an angle.
Step 2 — Blanch snow peas
Trim the stems from the snow peas, removing the strings from one side, and thinly slice lengthwise. Put in a heatproof bowl, cover with boiling water and stand for 1 min. Drain and rinse under cold running water to cool.
Step 3 — Make salad
Combine the cucumber, capsicum, spring onion and snow peas in a large bowl.
Step 4 — Fry dumplings
PORK DUMPLINGS OPTION Heat 1 tbs oil in a medium frypan over medium-high heat. Cook the dumplings, without turning, for 2-3 mins until golden on one side.
Step 5 — Steam dumplings
Carefully add 60ml (¼ cup) water to the pan (taking extra care adding water to the hot pan as the oil can spit and the steam created is very hot). Cover and steam for 3 mins or until the dumplings are tender.
Step 6 — Get ready to serve
Add half the dressing to the salad and toss to combine. Divide the salad and dumplings among bowls. Drizzle with the remaining dressing to serve.
