Ingredients
1 1⁄2 tablespoon Vegetable Oil
1⁄4 cup Water
3⁄4 teaspoons Flour (plus 3/8 teaspoon)
3⁄4 teaspoons Cornstarch (plus 3/8 teaspoon)
1⁄8 teaspoon Salt
12 whole Dumplings (frozen)

Directions
  1. In a bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon of oil, water, flour, cornstarch, and salt. Set aside.
  2. Heat a 8" nonstick pan on medium low. Add 1/2 tablespoon of oil and swirl the pan to coat the bottom. Add dumplings in a flower pattern and cover the pan with a lid for 2 minutes.
  3. Lift the lid and add the water mixture to the pan and cover. Make sure the mixture comes up to one-third of the dumpling. Steam the covered dumplings for 5-6 minutes or until the water has evaporated and the residual oil is left.
  4. Remove the lid and the skirt will become golden brown in about 10 minutes. Watch this carefully to ensure it does not burn. Place paper towel on top of plate.
  5. Turn off the heat and carefully loosen the dumplings and skirt from the pan with a wooden spatula and place on the plate. Serve your dumplings with your favorite dumpling sauce and enjoy!
