This pan-fried dumplings recipe is probably the best and most authentic fried dumpling recipe you will find online. And, this is an easy dumpling recipe. These Chinese dumplings are so crispy on the outside but inside is filled with moist, juicy, and extremely flavorful meat and veggie fillings. I made the dumpling wrapper from scratch but you can just use the packaged dumpling wrapper for quick and easy assembling.
How to Freeze Dumplings for Later
Make a big batch of these dumplings and freeze them in the freezer in a plastic bag. When you are ready to cook, just thaw at room temperature and pan-fry the dumplings until golden perfection and you have fresh fried dumplings. Fried dumplings are best served with Chinese black vinegar but Ponzu will work just fine. Enjoy!

I just printed the recipe. If I wanted to make it vegetarian, should I just delete the meat? Is there something else I can add?

How much oil is used for the initial browning? I have never heard of adding water to a pan with hot oil. I suppose if there is only a small amount of oil, adding water will not cause a large eruption. I will try it anyway, however, I would like comments if someone has already tried this. thanks.

To John, I too was a little unsure of adding water to a pan of oil, but the quantities of each are so small, there is no danger of an explosion. I have made these dumplings twice now and they are superb.
