Fried dumplings at a Japanese ramen restaurant are known as a snack with beer. Besides Steamed Dumplings, I like fried dumplings too. Sometimes when I am too lazy to boil dumplings with a large pot of water, I fry the dumplings instead. Add some olive oil in a frying pan and freeze it in a little fire for around 8-10 minutes and you can serve hot and crispy fried dumplings. Today, I will share with you the steps I have tried successfully many times for Japanese Gyoza(Jiaozi), so that you can eat delicious and crispy fried dumplings for dinner tonight. A glass of beer with a plate of fried dumplings in the evening is a great enjoyment in life.
