Pan-Fried Dumplings with Crispy Skirt

Every time I pass by a dumpling shop and hear the sizzling sound of flour water being poured into a hot pan, I imagine a row of dumplings wrapped in a golden, lacy, crispy skirt. Then, I can't help but walk into the shop and devour a plate of dumplings. Dumpling wrappers are larger than those for regular dumplings, and if you can't buy them, you'll need to start by making the wrappers from scratch. Once done, you'll enjoy the crispy, fragrant, and juicy dumplings filled with pork, crunchy cabbage, green onion, and sesame oil. Even if the kitchen feels like a furnace in the summer, it's worth the effort!

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Make the dumpling wrappers: Pour hot water over the flour in a mixing bowl, then add cold water. Stir with a spoon until it resembles snowflakes, then knead by hand into a smooth, elastic dough that doesn't stick.
- 2
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for 15 minutes until it softens (prepare the filling during this time).
- 3
After resting, divide the dough into 2 parts and roll each into a long strip.
- 4
Cut into 10g pieces, dust with flour, and cover the rest to prevent drying.
- 5
With the cut side up, press each piece into a small round disc.
- 6
Roll the wrappers: (6-1) Dust the work surface with flour. Place your left thumb in the center of the disc to hold it steady, and use your right hand to roll the pin from the edge towards the center. (6-2) Roll to the center, then roll back outwards. Rotate the dough 60 degrees with your left hand. (6-3) Repeat 8-12 times to form a round wrapper.
- 7
[Dumpling Filling]: (7-1) Mix the seasonings in a bowl, chop the green onion, and dice the cabbage. (7-2) Mix the cabbage with a teaspoon of salt, let it sit for 1.5 minutes, then squeeze out the water with your hands. (7-3) In a mixing bowl, mix the ground pork by hand until sticky, add the seasonings, mix well, then add the green onion and cabbage, mixing thoroughly.
- 8
[Wrap the Dumplings]: (8-1) Place filling in the center of the wrapper, forming a long shape. (8-2) Moisten the edges with water, fold in half, and seal the top. Stretch the sides and press the V-shaped openings firmly.
- 9
[Pan-Fry the Dumplings]: (9-1) Heat oil over medium-high heat. Place the dumplings in the pan, close together. (9-2) Pour the flour water mixture over the dumplings (flour:water = 1:10). Once boiling, reduce to medium-low heat, cover with a transparent lid, and let them steam and fry. (9-3) When the crispy skirt turns golden brown, cover the dumplings with a plate, invert the pan, and serve the dumplings hot with the crispy side up.

Crispy Skirt Pan-Fried Dumplings Crispy Skirt Pan-Fried Dumplings
I always love making these pan-fried dumplings with a crispy skirt on the bottom. This time, I used store-bought frozen dumplings, which makes things so much easier—no need to wrap your own! I'm sharing my flour-to-water ratio for the crispy skirt. I made 9 dumplings this time. It takes at least 10 minutes to steam and fry them through, so be sure to keep the heat on low the whole time to allow enough cooking time. If you're worried about not having enough flour water, you can always mix up a little more. 胖仙女Translated from Cookpad Taiwan -

I once tried a Korean dish where chives were finely chopped and mixed with a Korean sauce as a part of the dipping sauce. It was quite interesting, almost like a simple kimchi, and it paired well with the rich Korean BBQ, cutting through the greasiness. This time, I decided to chop up some chives and mix them with my favorite dipping sauce to pair with quick pan-fried dumplings. It turned out to be really delicious.

Pan-Fried and Soup Dumplings with Alfalfa Sprouts Pan-Fried and Soup Dumplings with Alfalfa Sprouts
I found these dumplings to be especially delicious when pan-fried. They’re small, crispy dumplings perfect as an appetizer. When you bite into them, the aroma of alfalfa fills your mouth. The filling is lightly seasoned, so I just nibble on a bit of pickled green chili for extra flavor. I usually let the meat filling rest, but since this uses sprouts, I wrapped them right away. Any dumplings I didn’t eat immediately, I froze for later. guzavieTranslated from Cookpad Japan -
