  Clean & trim the green beans.

  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 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!
