Cut the heirloom tomatoes into wedges and thinly slice the cucumbers and scallions. Finely slice the red chili pepper if using.

Add tomatoes, cucumbers, scallions, and chili pepper to the bowl with dumplings. Gently mix to combine.

If desired, include extra vegetables such as thinly sliced cabbage, carrots, bean sprouts, or edamame for additional texture and flavor.

Preheat a large skillet over medium heat and add enough vegetable oil to coat the base. Arrange the dumplings in the pan and cook for about 5 minutes, turning as needed, until heated through and lightly crisped.
