Pro Tips for Perfect Dumplings ✨

Double wrap each dumpling in rice paper for sturdiness.
Keep water room temperature – too hot and rice paper will tear, too cold and it won’t soften.
Don’t overcrowd the skillet – pan-sear in small batches for maximum crisp.
Serve immediately – they’re best hot and fresh.
