How to Make Pan-Fried Dumplings

Estimated Cooking Difficulty: ★★

Essential Ingredients and Tools

  • Dumplings (frozen)
  • Sesame seeds, chopped green onions (cut into segments), or other garnishes

Quantities

Per serving:

  • 1 pack of dumplings (choose based on your appetite, approximately 10–15 dumplings)

Instructions

  • Take out a frying pan (non-stick is best)
  • Add 10–15 ml of cooking oil
  • Turn on the heat and place the dumplings in the pan (spread them out evenly; avoid stacking)
  • Immediately add water until it reaches half the height of the dumplings
  • Cover with a lid (keep the stove on high heat)
  • Wait for 8–10 minutes
  • When only about 2mm of water remains, reduce the heat to medium and start frying
  • Once the water has completely evaporated, shake the pan to ensure even cooking
  • Sprinkle with black sesame seeds and green onions, then cover for an additional 10 seconds
  • After 1–2 minutes, remove one dumpling to check the bottom; if it has a golden-brown crispy crust, remove them from the pan immediately

Additional Notes

  • Always monitor the pan while cooking. Do not get distracted by your phone.
