"Frozen dumplings are a convenient and delicious staple. While steaming dumplings from frozen is a speedy way to cook them for a tender yet al dente bite, you can also pan-fry them from frozen. And the crisped, browned pan-fried edges layer on yet another delectable texture to contrast with a chewy noodle and tender meat or vegetable filling. Just be sure to use a neutral oil that won't interfere with the flavor profile of your dumplings."
"However, the best oil to use when pan-frying your favorite frozen dumplings brand isn't just limited to one type. Pan-frying requires you to heat oil at medium to high heat to achieve those crispy, browned dumpling edges. So, you need that neutral oil to have a fairly high smoke point. Consequently canola oil and vegetable oil are great choices for pan-frying dumplings."
Frozen dumplings can be steamed for a tender, al dente bite or pan-fried from frozen to create crisp, browned edges that contrast with chewy wrappers and tender fillings. Pan-frying requires heating neutral oil at medium-high heat, so choose oils with fairly high smoke points. Canola and general vegetable oils are economical, neutral choices; canola contains lower trans and saturated fats and offers a broader nutrient profile. Safflower oil provides an especially high smoke point and neutral flavor, while avocado oil also has a high smoke point but tends to be costlier. Use a nonstick skillet and both dry and wet pan-frying techniques for best results.
