Tips

  • Use frozen dumplings; do not thaw them to help them retain their shape and avoid becoming mushy.
  • Spoon sauce over the dumplings to guarantee even flavor and prevent burnt edges.
  • Broil for the last 5 minutes for an added layer of crispiness.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes covered with foil, or microwave covered with a wet paper towel for 1-2 minutes.
