Notes
Storage:
This one's best fresh. The dumplings gets soggy so eat it right away.The dumplings are the whole point, so keep them crispy. Air fry them till golden, then toss them in at the very last second and serve right away. Let them sit in the dressing and they go soft on you.
A mandoline gets the cabbage paper-thin so it actually soaks up the dressing. Thick-cut cabbage just sits there.
