Ingredients
Oops! Something went wrong. Our team is working on it.
1/3 cup water
2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon salt
4 teaspoons vegetable oil
1/4 teaspoon sesame oil
7 frozen dumplings or potstickers
Directions
For slurry, mix water, flour, and salt together thoroughly in a small bowl; set aside. Any flavorful meat or vegetable broth can be used in place of the water.
Add vegetable oil and sesame oil to a high-quality non-stick pan and place over medium high heat.
Place dumplings in pan flat side down in a circular pattern. Once dumplings are sizzling, cover tightly and let brown for about 3 minutes.
Uncover pan, whisk slurry, and pour around the dumplings. Reduce heat to medium, and cook until the moisture in slurry has evaporated, and the “lace skirt” is starting to brown. Continue cooking, until the skirt is crisp, and it moves across the bottom when the pan is shaken. It should come up from the edges and release, but if it’s stuck around the edge, carefully use the edge of a spatula to loosen. If cooked long enough, the skirt will release from a good non-stick pan.
Remove from heat and place a plate over dumplings. Turn over, being careful not to let any dripping oil fall on your hand or arm. This is best done over a towel to catch the drips. Serve immediately with your favorite dumpling or wonton dipping sauce.
