Pan-Fried Soup Dumplings

Give the woman some soup

Soup dumplings! Somehow, this week has unintentionally turned into soup week. Tonight we are making pan-fried soup dumplings. Things will be kept simple though, there is no need to make dumpling wrappers from scratch (because honestly, who has time for that?). Instead, we’re using store-bought wrappers to create these savory, crispy-bottomed dumplings filled with pork and a burst of flavorful soup. 

The best part is that you don’t need any fancy equipment. For the dipping sauce, I took inspiration from my favorite hot pot sauce, it is a quick and easy blend of sesame sauce, garlic, chili oil, sesame oil, and soy sauce. 

I served my dumplings with steamed rice and kimchi for a balanced meal. 

Now let’s get started!
