Recipe View 15 mins To cook: Pan-fry the dumplings in a large skillet over medium heat with a thin layer of oil for 15 minutes, turning them gently halfway through to ensure even browning and cooking. OR Gently place the dumplings in a pot of boiling water for 10 minutes, or until they float to the surface. Drain well and serve immediately in hot chicken broth or with your favorite dipping sauce. (15 minutes)

For a richer flavor, consider marinating the pork with a touch of Shaoxing wine and grated ginger for 30 minutes before mixing.
Ensure the dumpling skins are kept covered with a damp cloth to prevent them from drying out while you are assembling the dumplings.
Experiment with different dipping sauces! A classic combination is soy sauce, rice vinegar, and a dash of chili oil.

    I tried both the pan-frying and boiling methods, and both were delicious. Pan-frying gave them a nice crispy bottom.

  • Alan Emmerichmitchell

    The instructions were very clear and easy to follow, even for a beginner like me. I will definitely be making these again!

  • Darrion Champlin

    These dumplings were a hit! The filling was so flavorful and the shrimp made them extra special.
