How To Cook Frozen Dim Sum Dumplings
What is the best way to cook frozen dim sum dumplings? If you want to cook dumplings quickly and easily, cook them over medium heat with a few tablespoons of oil. Add the frozen dumplings to the hot oil after a few minutes, and cook for three to four minutes, turning them over several times. The dumplings can then be placed on medium-low heat, covered with just enough water to reach halfway up the sides, and sealed with a tight-fitting lid. To cook frozen dim sum in the microwave, add water. Place the frozen dumplings in a microwave-safe bowl. Ensure that the water in the bowl completely covers the dumplings. Cook the dumplings in the microwave for 4-6 minutes on high. Depending on the size of the dish, cooking frozen dim sum can be done in as little as six to ten minutes. Dumplings that have been partially thawed will cook more quickly than those that have not.
