Instructions

Microwave the Dumplings: Place the frozen soup dumplings on the provided tray and cover with the attached plastic film. Microwave on high for 2 minutes. Let sit for 1 minute before carefully removing, as the contents will be hot.
Steam the Dumplings: Place the frozen dumplings in a steamer basket over boiling water. Cover and steam for 10–11 minutes, or until fully heated through and tender.
Pan-Steam the Dumplings: Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add a tablespoon of oil. Arrange the dumplings in the pan, then add 2 tablespoons of water. Cover with a lid and steam for 4–5 minutes, or until heated through and the bottoms are lightly crisped.
Prepare Dipping Sauce (Optional): Combine soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and chili flakes or chili oil in a small bowl. Stir to mix.
Serve: Serve the hot dumplings immediately with the dipping sauce on the side. Be cautious when biting into the dumplings as the broth inside will be hot.

Notes

These dumplings contain hot broth inside — be careful when eating to avoid burns.
For added flavor, serve with chopped green onions or toasted sesame seeds.
Choose your heating method based on convenience and texture preference: microwave for speed, steaming for a soft texture, or pan-steaming for a crisp bottom.
Ensure to handle the hot dumplings carefully to prevent spills and burns.
