How to fry leftover dumplings

The remaining dumplings can be fried to enhance their taste. It is recommended to use a flat bottomed pan to fry over low heat until both sides turn golden brown. When frying dumplings, it is necessary to control the amount of oil to avoid burning caused by high temperatures. A small amount of steam can be used to evenly heat the filling. Before frying dumplings, it is necessary to ensure that the dumplings are completely thawed or kept in a refrigerated state to avoid the outer layer being burnt while the inner filling is not hot. After preheating the pan, brush a thin layer of oil and place the dumplings neatly with the bottom facing downwards. Fry over medium heat until slightly yellow, then pour in a small amount of water and cover the pot. Use steam to fully heat the inside of the dumplings. After the water evaporates, open the lid and continue frying until the bottom is crispy. During this time, rotate the pot to evenly heat it up. If using frozen dumplings, it is recommended to put them directly into the pot in a frozen state and extend the frying time appropriately. During the frying process, if the oil temperature is too high, it can easily cause the outer skin to turn black. You can adjust the heat to medium or low and observe the color change. The frying time for vegetarian filled dumplings is slightly shorter than that for meat filled dumplings, and the meat filled dumplings need to ensure that the internal temperature meets the standard. Fried dumplings can be paired with dipping sauces such as vinegar and chili oil, but people with high blood lipids should reduce their oil intake. Overnight dumplings tend to have a hard texture due to starch aging. Before frying, water can be sprayed to restore some softness.

It is recommended to choose a non stick pan to reduce the amount of oil used when frying dumplings, and use kitchen paper to remove excess oil from the surface after serving. The remaining dumplings should not be refrigerated for more than two days, and when reheating, it is necessary to ensure that the center temperature meets safety standards. People with weak gastrointestinal function should control the frequency of consuming fried foods and balance their dietary fiber intake with cold mixed vegetables.
