Instant Pot Frozen Dumplings
Dumplings are one of those foods that everyone loves because they are so versatile. No matter if you are a vegetarian or meat lover, there is a dumpling out there for everyone!
As much as I love eating dumplings weekly, I don’t really love ordering take-out all the time. So once I discovered some yummy frozen dumplings at my local grocery store, I keep them in stock in my freezer at all times.
While there are multiple ways to cook them, I’ve found using the Instant Pot gave me the best result!
The best part about this recipe is how easy cleanup can be – simply wipe down any remaining liquid from inside the inner pot when you’re done!
How To Cook Frozen Dumplings In The Instant Pot
When it comes to dumplings, you can cook any kind. My family loves pork dumplings while I normally lean towards shrimp and veggies. Honestly, they all delicious. You really can’t go wrong!
Once you’ve chosen the kind of dumplings you want, it’s time to start cooking them.
To do so:
Add the water and frozen dumplings to the Instant Pot.
Close the lid and turn the valve to a sealing position.
Press the “Pressure Cook” or Manual button and set the time to 3 minutes on High pressure.
When the Instant Pot is done cooking, quick release (QR) the steam.
Drain the dumplings and serve immediately.
Enjoy!
Cooking Tip:
- If you prefer to make your own dumpling, follow this recipe for homemade chicken and pork dumplings.
- If you don’t have an Instant Pot, consider steaming them in a saute pan.
What To Serve With Cooked Dumplings
When I buy frozen dumplings, they usually come with their own dipping sauce, but, if not, I’ll make my own! I will sometimes make a quick sauce made out of soy sauce and sesame oil or serve them with a bit of hot chili oil.
To really kick it up a notch, try making this sweet and spicy sriracha chili dipping sauce to serve with the dumplings.
Don’t forget the homemade egg rolls!
