Ingredients
- Dumplings (frozen dumplings)
- Sesame seeds, chopped scallions (cut into segments) or other toppings
Steps
- Remove a frying pan (non-stick is best).
- Add 10ml - 15ml cooking oil.
- Turn on the heat and place the dumplings inside (spread them out evenly; do not stack them).
- Immediately add water so it covers 1/2 of the dumplings' average height.
- Cover the pan with the lid (the stove should be on high heat at this point).
- Wait for 8 - 10 minutes.
- When only 2mm of water remains in the pan, turn the heat to medium and start frying.
- Once all the water has evaporated, shake the pan to distribute the heat evenly to the dumplings.
- Add sesame seeds and scallions and cover for another 10 seconds.
- Remove one dumpling from the pan to test the bottom (wait 1 - 2 minutes). If a golden crispy crust appears, remove immediately.
