PREPPING

COOKING

  • Heat 2 tsp oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add dumplings, pressing down firmly to flatten the base onto the pan. Cook for around 2-3 minutes.
  • When the base is golden brown (check), add all the crusting mixture liquid into the pan.
  • Immediately clamp the lid on, then cook in low heat for 8 minutes or until all liquid dries out.
  • Remove the lid, and leave the pan on the stove on low heat, until the base dries and forms crusty crisp.
  • Remove the dumplings from the pan and transfer them to a serving plate (dumplings
