Description

Foolproof recipe for the perfect crispy dumpling skirt that will bring your fresh or frozen dumplings to the next level, and it is super easy to make!


Ingredients

Scale

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch, flour, and 1/3 cup water. Set it aside. (*use 1/2 cup of water if you are using frozen dumplings or if you are using a bigger pan)
  2. In a nonstick cooking pan, add 2 tbsp of oil and heat over medium high heat. 
  3. Once the oil is hot, arrange the dumplings in a circular pattern (see photo). Make sure they are not touching too closely. Pan fry for a few minutes until the bottoms of the dumplings are golden brown. If you are using frozen dumplings, you may need an extra 2-3 minutes.
  4. Whisk the prepared slurry/batter again before adding to the pan. Pour the batter around the pan, ensuring it surrounds the dumplings evenly and fills the empty spaces between the dumplings. 
  5. Reduce the heat to medium heat. Cover the pan with a lid and let the dumplings steam for about 5 minutes, or until cooked through. 
  6. Remove the lid and let the batter cook until all the water has evaporated and the skirt turns crispy and golden brown. Turn off the heat.
  7. Place a large plate on top of the dumplings. Carefully flip the pan over so the crispy skirt is on top. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce or chili oil, enjoy!
