![]() ![]() Continue cooking, covered the whole time, until most of the water is absorbed and the dumpling filling is almost cooked through. Put the dumplings in flat side down, and cook for about a minute until the bottoms just start to color lightly.ģ) Next add about 1/2 cup of water, raise the heat and cover the pan. I like to use a black cast iron skillet that is extremely well seasoned, but a non stick pan works perfectly (better).Ģ) Pre-heat the pan and add a couple of tablespoons of vegetable oil. That is when they are ready.ĬLARIFYING THE TECHNIQUE FOR PAN-FRYING DUMPLINGSġ) Use a well seasoned pan. If the frying pan is being cooperative, then there is a precious window of a few seconds when the bottom of the dumplings are thoroughly crisply fried and they come away from the surface of the pan before burning/sticking again. I add oil with the water at the beginning. Also sometimes I ladle off a bit of the liquid if I feel it isn't going down fast enough. ![]() But I do the boiling with the gas turned high so the water boils off asap. They end up slightly overcooked, for which the crisping on one side compensates. ![]() Next time I'll try FG's way - in a deep pan. My frying pan method often means they get stuck to the bottom of the pan and are damaged when I try to get them out - but that's part of the charm. However, what I love about potstickers is the fact that on one side they are soft, and on the other they are crisp - almost burnt. My wok is well-loved and old, so the dumplings don't stick at all. When using the wok I am unable to refrain from stir-frying out of sheer habit which means the dumplings got fried lightly all over. Altogether quicker and tidier but I'm not convinced by the results - elegant but a little anodyne. Definitely less messy, apart from that moment when the dumplings are added to the wok with an almighty splatter.

Propah dim sum too fiddly to do at home - generally you need a black belt in rice flour wrappers, three years study in a remote monestary attached to a floating restaurant &tc &tc to do it properly Made baozi (steamed buns) a while ago, but mum did most of the work Excellent made with pork and jiu cai (chinese chives) Only jiaozi (which the Japanese stole, grilled and served up as gyoza - they're not generally that bright, you know).

Now that more restaurants are welcoming back dine-in guests, expect to see those same carts - loaded with dim sum options - making the rounds again. Over the pandemic, those carts disappeared, along with dine-in service. Traditionally, these filling and affordable options were wheeled right to your table on carts. The fun part is in choosing which delectable sweet or savory treat to pick next, like har gow (shrimp dumplings), sesame balls, or hom bow (a sweet, fluffy bread roll stuffed with meat or other fillings).
