Ingredients

For the Dumplings

1 package Frozen Dumplings Substitution: Use fresh dumplings for a different texture, adjusting cooking time as needed.
3 tablespoons Chili Crisp Substitution: Create your own version with chili oil, crushed red pepper flakes, and minced garlic if desired.

For Cooking

2 tablespoons Vegetable Oil Tip: Try canola or sesame oil for a unique flavor twist.
2 cloves Garlic (minced) Note: Be mindful of cooking time to avoid burning the garlic.
1 cup Vegetable Broth Substitution: Use chicken broth for a non-vegetarian option, enhancing the savory profile.
2 tablespoons Soy Sauce Tip: Opt for low-sodium soy sauce if you're watching salt intake.

For Garnish

2 tablespoons Green Onion (sliced) Substitution: Chives or shallots work beautifully if you're low on green onions.

Cooking Steps

In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium heat until it shimmers and is hot enough for frying.
Carefully add your frozen dumplings to the skillet in a single layer, ensuring they're not overcrowded. Allow them to cook for 3-4 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown and crispy.
Once the dumplings are beautifully browned, add 2 minced garlic cloves to the skillet. Sauté for about 1 minute, stirring frequently until the garlic becomes fragrant and golden.
Pour in 1 cup of vegetable broth and 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, stirring gently to combine. Cover the skillet with a lid and allow the dumplings to steam for 5-7 minutes.
After steaming, remove the lid and drizzle 3 tablespoons of chili crisp over the dumplings. Cook uncovered for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Finally, remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle sliced green onions and sesame seeds over the top.
