Equipment

  • 1 Microwave
  • 1 Air-fryer

Ingredients
  

  • Frozen or refrigerated dumplings
  • Water for boiling
  • Oil for pan-frying 1 tablespoon
  • Microwave-safe plate and damp paper towel for microwaving

Instructions
 

Steaming Method

  • Place a steamer basket in a pot and fill with water until it's just below the bottom of the basket.
  • Bring the water to a boil, then line the basket with parchment paper or cabbage leaves to prevent sticking.
  • Add dumplings, cover, and steam for 6-8 minutes until heated through.

Pan-frying Method

  • Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of oil.
  • Place dumplings in the pan without touching each other, and cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottom is golden brown.
  • Add a few tablespoons of water, cover the pan, and steam for an additional 2-3 minutes.

Microwaving Method

  • Place dumplings on a microwave-safe plate and cover with a damp paper towel.
  • Microwave on high for 60-90 seconds, checking for desired heat level and continuing in 15-second intervals as needed.

Air-frying Method

  • Preheat air fryer to 375°F and line basket with non-stick paper or parchment.
  • Place dumplings in one layer without touching each other, lightly spray with oil, and cook for 10-12 minutes until golden brown.
  • Serve immediately and enjoy your reheated dumplings!

Notes

  • The cooking time may vary depending on the size and thickness of the dumplings.
  • To prevent sticking, make sure to line the steamer basket or pan with parchment paper or cabbage leaves.
  • If microwaving, be careful not to overheat as it can lead to a rubbery texture.
  • For air-frying, it is important to preheat the fryer for best results.
