Ingredients
Scale
- 10 to 12 frozen dumplings
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 to 2 tablespoons chili oil (to taste)
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 cup water or broth
- 1 cup bok choy, chopped
- 2 scallions, sliced
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Instructions
- Heat your skillet over medium heat and add the sesame oil.
- In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, vinegar, chili oil, garlic, ginger, water, and cornstarch until smooth.
- Place dumplings flat side down in the hot pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown.
- Pour in the sauce and scatter chopped bok choy around the dumplings.
- Cover with a lid and steam for 5-7 minutes, or until dumplings are heated through and bok choy is tender.
- Remove the lid, let the sauce simmer another 1-2 minutes uncovered to slightly thicken.
- Plate the dumplings with the sauce and greens. Garnish with scallions and sesame seeds. Enjoy hot.
Notes
- Preheat your pan to get a golden sear on dumplings.
- Stir the sauce just before pouring to keep the cornstarch mixed.
- Use your favorite dumpling variety – pork, veggie, or shrimp all work well.
- To make it extra spicy, add more chili oil or a dash of red pepper flakes.
