Iris’ Pork and Chive Dumplings are super versatile and easy to cook straight from the freezer. Here’s how:
Pan-Fry (our favourite method): Heat a little oil in a non-stick pan, add the frozen dumplings, and cook for 2–3 minutes until they’re golden underneath. Then, pour in about ¼ cup of water, cover with a lid, and steam for 8–10 minutes. Once the water evaporates, the bottoms will crisp up again.
Steam: Pop them in a steamer basket over boiling water for 15–20 minutes. This gives you a soft, juicy dumpling, perfect if you’re after that dim sum vibe.
Boil: Drop them into boiling water and cook until they float (around 8–10 minutes). This is a lighter option and works well if you want to add them to soup.
Whichever way you cook them, don’t forget to dip them in Iris’ homemade chilli oil, included in every pack and made to perfectly complement the dumpling’s rich, savoury flavour.
