Dumplings with Garlic-Soy Broccoli

recipe

• Step 1
  Clean & thinly slice the scallions (optional).
• Step 2
  Wash & cut the broccoli into small florets.
• Step 3
  Peel & mince the garlic.
• Step 4
  Add a drizzle of olive oil in 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 broccoli & cook for 4-5 min over medium-high heat until slightly blistered but still crisp.
• Step 7
  Add the soy sauce & garlic, stirring quickly to coat the broccoli. Let cook for 1-2 min, then push the broccoli 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 & broccoli with extra soy sauce for dipping. Drizzle with chili oil & sprinkle with thinly sliced scallions, if using. Enjoy!
