Main Ingredients
- 4 frozen dumplings
- 1/3 onion
- 1/2 fresh tomato
Seasoning & Others
- 2 Tbsp ketchup
- 1/2 Tbsp hoisin sauce
- A little cooking oil
- 2 Tbsp ketchup
- 1/2 Tbsp hoisin sauce
- A little cooking oil
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the dumplings. Fill a steamer with water and bring it to a boil. Once boiling, place the 4 frozen dumplings in the steamer, cover, and steam for about 7-10 minutes. Steaming until the dumpling wrappers are chewy and the filling is heated through is key. Alternatively, for an extra crispy texture, you can lightly pan-fry or air-fry the dumplings before proceeding.
Step 2
Prepare the onion and tomato. Peel the 1/3 onion and finely mince it. Wash the 1/2 tomato, remove the stem, and dice it into bite-sized pieces, similar in size to the dumplings. While larger chunks are fine, mincing them will help the sauce coat evenly for a more flavorful result.
Step 3
Heat a little cooking oil in a pan over medium-low heat. Add the minced onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until translucent. Sautéing the onion brings out its natural sweetness, enhancing the overall flavor.
