Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking, about 1 minute.
  2. Step 2: Arrange 24 frozen dumplings flat side down in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes without moving until the bottoms turn golden brown.
  3. Step 3: Carefully add 1/4 cup water to the skillet and immediately cover with a tight-fitting lid to steam the dumplings for 6-7 minutes until the water evaporates and dumplings are cooked through.
  4. Step 4: Remove the lid and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to crisp the bottoms again.
  5. Step 5: Meanwhile, whisk together 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tsp sesame oil, 2 tbsp thinly sliced scallions, and 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes in a small bowl until fragrant and well combined.
  6. Step 6: Serve the hot dumplings with the soy-ginger dipping sauce on the side for dipping.
