Dumplings with Garlic-Soy Green Beans

Step 1

Clean & thinly slice the scallions (optional).

Step 2

Clean & trim the green beans.

Step 3

Peel & mince the garlic.

Step 4

Add a drizzle of olive oil to a frying pan over medium heat. Add frozen dumplings flat-side down & cook for 3-4 min until golden brown.

Step 5

Pour in water (2 tbsp per serving) & cover with a lid. Let steam for 5-6 min until the dumplings are cooked through. Remove the lid & let any remaining water evaporate. Transfer dumplings to a plate & set aside.

Step 6

In the same pan, add another drizzle of olive oil. Add the green beans & cook for 3-4 min over medium-high heat until slightly blistered but still crisp.

Step 7

Add the soy sauce & garlic, stirring quickly to coat the green beans. Let cook for 1-2 min, then push the green beans to one side of the pan.

Step 8

Transfer the dumplings to the other side of the pan & re-warm if necessary.

Step 9

Serve the dumplings & green beans with extra soy sauce for dipping. Drizzle with chili oil & sprinkle with thinly sliced scallions, if using. Enjoy!
