Ingredients
  

Main
  • 1 package of Trader Joe's Frozen Dumplings
  • 1 cup water
  • Optional: Soy sauce for dipping
  • Optional: Chili oil for heat
  • Optional: Green onions for garnish

Equipment

  • Steamer basket
  • Large pot
  • Tongs
  • Serving dish
  • Cutting board
  • Knife

Method
 

  1. Gather all ingredients and equipment.
  2. Fill a large pot with water and place the steamer basket on top, ensuring the water does not touch the basket.
  3. Place frozen dumplings in the steamer basket, making sure they do not touch each other.
  4. Cover and bring the water to a boil. Steam the dumplings for 8 to 10 minutes or until tender and heated through.
  5. Use tongs to remove a dumpling and cut it open to check if hot and steamy inside. Return to steam for an additional minute if needed.
  6. Transfer cooked dumplings to a serving dish. Drizzle with soy sauce if desired.
  7. Prepare dipping sauces by mixing soy sauce, chili oil, and sliced green onions.
  8. Serve hot and enjoy.
