- 1 tbs jarlic

- 1 squeeze of refrigerated tube ginger

- 1 bag steamable frozen broccoli

- 2 tsp rice wine vinegar

Potstickers with Spicy Kani Salad

 

Potstickers with Spicy Kani Salad

Normally when we have potstickers (just the frozen pork ones) I just make a bunch and we munch on that. But I saw this recipe for spicy kani salad that I wanted to make, so I thought it would make a good side for it!

I did make a couple of changes to the salad "dressing", I added some garlic and a bit of chili crunch with a half of a squeezed lime. I also topped it with cilantro because we had some to use up. It's very good! I'd definitely make it again, but I'd make the mayo base before hand so it has some time to meld and be a bit less mayo-e. The store only had a bigger bag of imitation crab meat and a giant cucumber, so I have enough to make another batch this weekend.

Edit: so I made this again with a few changes and it's SO MUCH BETTER! I was almost out of mayo so I just used a little bit, and I subbed the rest with nonfat greek yogurt. I also added fresh squeeze tube ginger, some jarlic, and a bit of soy sauce. It's so much better without being full mayo, it's much more light & fresh tasting.
