How To: Red Oil Dumplings
Dumplings are beloved worldwide, from Japan’s gyoza to China’s shumai to Vietnam’s wontons. At Mecha, we flipped the script to spotlight the filling—meaty, flavorful, and almost like a tender meatball. Our dumplings are pan-steamed to perfection: first boiled, then seared to create a half-crispy, half-chewy texture that’s undeniably satisfying. Packed with bold flavor, they’re a delicious upgrade on a classic favorite.
Cooking Instructions:
Boil Dumplings: Place 4 frozen dumplings in boiling water. Cook for 6 minutes.
Pan-Sear: Heat oil in a sauté pan on high. Sear cooked dumplings for 1 minute on one side, then rotate and sear for another minute on the other side, until golden brown.
Serve: Place seared dumplings on a plate.
Drizzle with Mecha’s Red Oil Sauce and garnish with fresh cilantro, scallions, and crispy shallots.
Enjoy!
