how to steam your frozen soup dumplings

you will need:

• a pot with a lid for boiling water and a metal steamer that fits inside

  OR

• a pot for boiling water and a bamboo steamer with a lid (the steamer should fit inside the pot or very snugly within the top)

• round perforated parchment paper that fits inside your steamer option or napa cabbage leaves

1. Bring your pot of water to a boil. The amount of water will vary based on which steaming setup you use. Use enough water that will last you for steaming 8-10 minutes, but make sure the water is never high enough to touch the dumplings.

2. Place a piece of parchment paper or enough napa cabbage leaves to cover the steamer. This will ensure your dumplings don’t stick to the steamer.

3. Arrange your frozen dumplings on the steamer, making sure you leave space between each one. When cooking, they will expand and you don’t want them to stick to each other.

4. Place your steamer in or on top of you pot of boiling water, and cover with the lid.

5. Steam for 8-9 minutes. If this is your first time, check for doneness at 8 minutes.

6. Remove the steamer from the pot and serve immediately by themselves or with any of our dipping sauces.

7. These dumplings are full of hot broth! Rest them on top of a big spoon when taking your first bite so you don’t lose all that soup, or eat them in one bite.
