Pan-frying dumplings with a little water gives you a deliciously crispy base while steaming them to perfection. Here’s how to do it:

1. Prepare Your Pan: If using a stainless steel pan, season it first to prevent sticking. Alternatively, use a non-stick pan.
2. Cook from Frozen: Place the frozen dumplings in the pan.
3. Add Water: Pour a small amount of water into the pan.
4. Cover and Cook: Cover the pan with a lid and cook for 8-10 minutes, allowing the dumplings to steam and develop a crispy bottom.

Enjoy your perfectly cooked, crispy, and tender dumplings!
