How To Prepare Crispy Dumpling Skirt ?

Preparation:   

Preparation time: 5 mins

Cooking time: 5 mins

Serving: 4

Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup neutral oil
• 1 cup water
• 5 tbsp flour
• 5 tbsp corn starch
• 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions:

1. In a bowl, mix together neutral oil, water, flour, corn starch, and salt.
2. Pan fry your dumplings as you normally would in 1 tbsp of oil for 2-3 minutes over medium high heat (check out my dumpling recipe here). Once they are golden brown, add about 1 cup of the mixture (enough to come up to 1/4 way up the dumpling) to the pan and cover. If cooking frozen dumplings, add more of the mixture to come up to 1/3 of the dumpling.
3. Steam for 5-6 minutes or until the water has evaporated and the residual oil is left and remove the lid. The skirt will form and become golden brown. Watch this carefully to ensure it does not burn and remove!
4. Serve your dumplings with your favourite dumpling sauce and enjoy!
