ingredients
- 8 frozen dumplings or potstickers
- 2 teaspoons all purpose flour
- 1/2 cup water
- Neutral oil, as needed
Method
Step 1
Add a drizzle of cooking oil to a nonstick pan. Arrange dumplings bottom-side down, onto the pan and bring up to medium-high heat. Allow the dumplings to cook until the dumpling bottoms start turning golden, about 3 minutes.
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk together flour and water. Pour this slurry into the nonstick pan and cover with a lid. Let the dumplings steam cook for another 3 minutes or until the dumplings start looking translucent. The flour slurry should thicken.
Step 3
Remove the lid and cook off the rest of the water for another 4-5 minutes. The skirt should start to form and become a golden brown. Once the skirt starts lifting off the pan, it is done.
Step 4
Using a plate that is slightly bigger than the pan, cover the top of the pan and carefully flip the pan over. Drizzle some chili oil over your dumplings.
