Description

This speedy, 20-minute Sweet Chilli Dumpling Stir Fry made with your choice of frozen gyoza and baby pak choi is the perfect meal to add to your weeknight dinner rotation – it is so low effort, even the dumplings cook from frozen! 


Ingredients

Scale

For the Sweet Chilli Stir Fry Sauce

  • 4 tbsp sweet chilli sauce
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 2 large garlic cloves, finely grated
  • 1 tbsp finely grated fresh ginger

For the Dumpling Stir Fry

  • 1 tbsp light oil
  • 1 x packet 12 frozen dinner dumplings
  • 4 baby pak choi
  • 1 large sliced spring onion, to serve
  • toasted sesame seeds, to serve

Instructions

  1. Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan over a medium high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, arrange the frozen dumplings in the pan. Whilst their bottoms start to crisp, whisk together the stir fry sauce ingredients with 2 tbsp of cold water, and set aside. Half the baby pak choi down the middle.
  2. Once the bottoms of the dumplings are golden, flip them over to crisp the other flat side. Arrange the pak choi around the dumplings, cut-side down.
  3. When the dumplings are crisp and thawed, and the pak choi has taken on a little colour, reduce the heat to medium. Add the stir fry sauce, and cook everything until the pak choi is just tender, and the sauce has thickened to be sticky and glossy.
  4. Serve in warm bowls, topped with spring onions and toasted sesame seeds.
