Summary of "technical tips" for fried dumplings:

1. Put the dumplings in a cold pan with cold oil and then turn on a low heat, so that they will not stick to the pan or become mushy. You can choose salad oil as the oil, or you can change it to scallion oil, pepper oil, etc. The fried dumplings are unique.

2. Add a little refined salt to give the dumplings a little base flavor. Another function is that if the dumplings burst and water comes out, the water will not splash when it meets the oil.

3. Fry the bottom and then the sides. After the bottom is set, the sides are ready to be fried. If you like the whole dumpling to be crispy, you need to fry all three sides. Don't fry it for too long. If it takes too long, the moisture inside the dumpling will dry up and the freshness will not be achieved.
