Place the dumplings in a steamer and steam for about 10 minutes.

4. Make the Secret Sauce

✨ MY LITTLE TIP

If you love spicy food, add a little extra chili garlic crisp to the sauce.

These dumplings are light, flavorful and so satisfying that you might forget they're actually healthy.

Bon appétit! 🥟❤️
