How do you pan fry dumplings?
Pan frying dumplings is a simple and delicious way to cook these traditional Asian delicacies. Firstly, heat a tablespoon of oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add the dumplings in a single layer, making sure they are not too close together, as this will help them to crisp up and brown evenly. Cook the dumplings for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the bottoms are golden brown. Once the bottoms are crispy, add a small amount of water, about ¼ cup, to the pan. The water will create steam, which will cook the dumplings through and also help to lift any stuck-on bits from the bottom of the pan. Cover the pan with a lid and allow the dumplings to steam for 2-3 minutes, or until the water has evaporated and the dumplings are fully cooked. Finally, remove the lid and continue to pan fry the dumplings for a further minute or two, until they are crispy and golden brown on all sides. Serve the dumplings hot with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
