Frozen dumplings are a convenient and delicious staple. While steaming dumplings from frozen is a speedy way to cook them for a tender yet al dente bite, you can also pan-fry them from frozen. And the crisped, browned pan-fried edges layer on yet another delectable texture to contrast with a chewy noodle and tender meat or vegetable filling. Just be sure to use a neutral oil that won’t interfere with the flavor profile of your dumplings.
