We love panfrying dumplings because you can enjoy two completely different textures in one glorious bite: a soft, tender, juicy exterior and a crispy bottom.

The panfrying method starts with lightly frying dumplings in a generous splash of neutral oil, like canola or vegetable, then finishes the cooking process by creating intense steam from pouring liquid into the hot pan. Start by adding 1 or 2 tablespoons of neutral oil to a nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Using a nonstick pan is the easiest way to ensure that you can easily remove the crispy-bottomed dumplings, but if you don’t have one, just line the bottom of your pan with a circle of oiled parchment paper.

Arrange the dumplings in a circular pattern or a line, ensuring the flat dumpling bottoms touch the pan but that their pleated, pinched tops don’t. Because frozen dumplings tend to have some residual ice crystals on them, arrange the dumplings in the pan before the oil gets too hot, in order to avoid getting splattered with hot oil when the ice begins to melt. Cook for 2 to 4 minutes, or until the bottoms of the dumplings start to brown.

Carefully pour 3 to 4 tablespoons of water, depending on how many dumplings you’re cooking at once, into an area of the pan where there’s not too much oil to create the steam. (Be sure not to add water directly to hot oil.) The water will begin to steam as soon as it hits the hot pan, so immediately cover the pan with a lid or a large sheet pan to finish cooking the dumplings while making them moist and juicy.

Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for 5 to 6 minutes, until the tops of the dumplings look moistened and steamed. If there’s still too much water in the pan, uncover the lid to allow most of it to evaporate.

Happy Easter, dear friends! May your day be filled with love, laughter, and lots of sweet surprises! 🐰🌷

Dumplings are the singular best food to make for (and with) a crowd: They're cheap, easy, beginner - and kid-friendly, and cook up super quickly.

For every two to three guests, you'll need:

• A bowl of prepared dumpling filling and spoons or chopsticks for filling
• A package of dumpling wrappers
• A little bowl of water to use as the "glue" that seals the dumplings shut
• A sheet pan lined with parchment paper for finished dumplings
• A damp kitchen towel to lay over your tray of finished dumplings, so they won't dry out and crack before cooking

Set Up your Pan Station

Assign your most responsible guest to the frying station, and award them rights to the crispiest dumplings as payment. Pour two tablespoons of neutral oil (like canola or vegetable) in a large nonstick pan, arrange your dumplings inside, and add three tablespoons of water. Set the pan over medium heat and cover with a lid, cooking until the bottoms are golden-brown and crispy and the tops are steamed through and translucent, about seven minutes.

What Sides?

Turn fried dumplings out onto large platters and serve with little dishes of soy sauce mixed with vinegar, and chili oil.

How Many per Guest?

You'll want to make at least as many dumplings as your guests can eat in one sitting—estimate about 15 to 20 dumplings per guest, on the generous side. But the real genius of a dumpling party is you can basically trick your guests into making you a week's worth of dinners. Once everyone's stuffed, you've got a stockpile of leftover dumplings for quick future dinners!

Chinese New Year in 2024 falls on 10 February and ends with the Lantern Festival on 24 February. Celebrations last up to 16 days; the Chinese public holiday lasts from 10 February to 17 February.

In preparation for the Lunar New Year, houses are thoroughly cleaned to drive away any bad luck from the previous year.

Some additional traditions preparing for the lunar new year include putting spring festival couplets on doors or windows and buying new clothes.

On the morning of New Year’s Eve, people sweep the tombs of their ancestors, then return home. When they finish hanging Spring Festival couplets and red lanterns, it’s time for the big family reunion dinner. This banquet is believed to be the most important dinner of the year.

Big families of several generations come together and enjoy delicious and lucky dishes. Dumplings are a central part of the selection, because they resemble ancient Chinese precious gold ingots and symbolise prosperity.

The last day of the New Year is known as the Festival of Lanterns and marks the end of Chinese New Year celebrations. All types of lanterns are lighted throughout the streets, and poems and riddles are often written for entertainment.
