Description
Savory shiitake mushrooms and crispy-bottomed dumplings come together in a glossy soy-based glaze, all in one skillet for a quick and flavor-packed dinner.
Ingredients
- Shiitake Mushrooms: 2 cups, thickly sliced
- Frozen Dumplings: 12 pieces, any variety
- Soy Sauce: 3 tablespoons
- Oyster Sauce: 1 tablespoon
- Sesame Oil: 1 teaspoon
- Garlic: 3 cloves, minced
- Fresh Ginger: 1 teaspoon, grated
- Brown Sugar: 1 tablespoon
- Cornstarch: 1 teaspoon mixed with 2 tablespoons water
- Water: ½ cup
- Green Onions: 2 stalks, sliced
- Sesame Seeds: 1 teaspoon (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Your Equipment: Heat a tablespoon of oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
- Combine Ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, brown sugar, water, and the cornstarch slurry.
- Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Once the skillet is hot, add frozen dumplings in a single layer. Let them sear for 3 to 4 minutes until golden on the bottom.
- Assemble the Dish: Flip the dumplings, push them to one side, and add the sliced mushrooms to the other. Cook mushrooms for 5 minutes until tender.
- Cook to Perfection: Pour the sauce mixture over everything. Cover the skillet and reduce heat to medium. Let simmer for 5 to 6 minutes until the sauce thickens and dumplings are fully cooked through.
- Finishing Touches: Uncover the skillet and sprinkle with green onions and sesame seeds. Let the sauce reduce slightly for extra gloss.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve hot straight from the skillet or over steamed rice or noodles for a heartier meal.
Notes
- Use low-sodium soy sauce to control salt levels.
- Add chili oil or red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
- Double the sauce if serving over rice or noodles.
- Reheat leftovers in a skillet with a splash of water for best texture.
