STORAGE TIP: Store your dumplings in a freezer until you are ready to cook.

SKILLET PAN-FRY DIRECTIONS – RECOMMENDED

1: ADD – 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil or oil of your choice (not recommending sesame oil) to a 10-inch frying pan (use non stick pans only); coat evenly.

2: PLACE – 6 to 10 dumplings in a single layer with the seam side up and pan-fry for a couple of minutes; add ½ cup water (just enough to cover the bottom of the skillet).

3: COVER and COOK – over MEDIUM heat for 8 to 10 minutes, until water has evaporated and bottoms of dumplings are lightly browned.

4: STEAM –  frozen dumplings for at least 15 minutes, depending on the power of the stove. Adjust cooking time as needed.

5: REMOVE– pot from heat and rest for a few minutes.

6: (OPTIONAL) - place steamed dumplings into a soup bowl you desire. It is a soup meal!

7: DEVOUR and ENJOY.

AIR FRYER BAKING DIRECTIONS

1: BRUSH – a thin layer of oil (oil of your choice) to the air fryer bottom.

2: PLACE – frozen dumplings into the air fryer.

3: BRUSH – a thin layer of oil (oil of your choice) onto the surface of frozen dumplings. Optional: sprinkle some chili powder, or our Sichuan Mala Dry Seasoning, or black pepper and cumin powder onto the dumplings.

4: BAKE – frozen dumplings at a low heat (about 300 °F) for about 8 minutes.

5: SPRAY– some oil (oil of your choice) to the surface of dumplings.

6: BAKE - another 2 minutes at about 340 °F. This is to make the skin extra crispy.
