Use a flat and nonstick fried pan. Turn on stove top heat, place a fried pan, then add a table cooking oil, then place frozen or freshly made dumplings one by one and sitting against each other. The pouch/body of the dumplings should be sitting on the fried pan.

Add water right after all the dumplings are placed then cover with a lid and bring it to steaming hot, then turn the heat down to median for 2 minutes then low for rest time. Total cooking time is about 7-8 minutes for frozen dumplings or 5 minutes for the fresh ones. Check the water level during the cooking. If water is out before cooking time, then just simply add a bit more water, but don’t over water. At very last 30 seconds, there shouldn’t have much or no water left in the pan, the dumplings should be fluffed with air and bottoms should be starting to sear into golden (turn the heat up to brown if that’s necessary). Then they are ready to plate and to serve with dumpling sauce.

For frozen dumplings add a 1/2 cup
For the fresh made dumplings add a 1/3 cup
Or water level in a fried pan should be about ¼” deep with all the dumplings. Please adjust water according to size of fried pan.
