Quick Homemade Pan-Fried Dumplings (Truly Done in 10 Minutes)
This method was also learned from someone else, but I can't remember where I saw it. I'm sharing it here for everyone's reference.
Ingredients
Steps
Heat a small amount of oil in a non-stick pan until it's about 60% hot, place the dumplings neatly in the pan. If using fresh dumplings, place them directly; if using frozen dumplings, use chopsticks to arrange them to avoid burns. Fry the dumplings for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Once arranged, add enough water to cover about 5mm high. Cover with a lid and cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes.
Prepare the chopped green onions.
Have some pre-toasted white sesame seeds ready.
Use a bowl to mix a small amount of water; be sure not to add too much water here. Add one tablespoon of starch and stir well. When the water in the pan is almost dry, pour this mixture into the pan's base and immediately cover it with a lid. Continue cooking over medium heat. When the mixture is nearly dry, sprinkle chopped green onions and sesame seeds. Cover with a lid for another 15 seconds, then remove from the pan. Done!
Finished! Serve with your preferred dipping sauce.
