Yes, that's right. After years of dealing with Crohn's and IBS, I received a random email a few weeks ago and that has completely changed my life....and my kitchen cupboards! I am not going to go into detail to explain what the FODMAP "diet" is because a simple Google search will provide you with a wealth of information that I could never provide.
Alas, this new diet strategy has taken a toll on my recipes. But, through this experience I have tried some some new recipes that equal the dumpling-laden dishes of my childhood. So, with that said, let me share with you the amazing recipe I made last night for dinner. It. Was. FABULOUS!
Pot Sticker Salad with Orange-Carrot Dressing
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon garlic infused olive oil
- 12 frozen pot stickers
- 1 cup frozen baby green peas
- 1 cup water
- 4 cups chopped iceberg lettuce
- 1 cup chopped baby carrots
- 2 tablespoons ginger-sesame salad dressing (recipe below)
- salt to taste
Directions
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place the pot stickers into the hot oil flat-side-down. Cook until the bottom has turned golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour in the water. Cover, and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Cook until the pot stickers have completely thawed and are hot on the inside, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Run cold water over peas in a colander until thawed
- Place the pot stickers, carrots, lettuce and peas in a large bowl. Pour Dressing over ingredients. Season to taste with salt, and toss to mix. Serve immediately.
