🧺 Ingredients

Dumplings

  • 12–15 frozen or fresh dumplings (chicken, pork, shrimp, or veggie)

  • Water for boiling

Chili Oil Sauce

  • ¼ cup chili oil (store-bought or homemade)

  • 2 tbsp soy sauce

  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar

  • 1 tbsp sesame oil

  • 1 tbsp minced garlic

  • 1 tbsp chopped green onions

  • 1 tsp sugar

  • 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes

  • ½ tsp black vinegar (optional, for tanginess)

  • 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds

Toppings

  • 6–8 cooked shrimp

  • 2 boiled eggs, halved

  • Extra green onions and sesame seeds for garnish


👩‍🍳 Instructions

Step 1: Cook the Dumplings

Boil dumplings in water according to package instructions (usually 4–6 minutes).
Drain and set aside.

Step 2: Cook the Shrimp

In a skillet, heat 1 tbsp of oil and sauté shrimp until pink and cooked through.
Season lightly with salt and pepper. Set aside.

Step 3: Make the Chili Oil Sauce

In a large bowl, whisk together chili oil, soy sauce, sesame oil, vinegar, garlic, green onions, sugar, and red pepper flakes.
Taste and adjust to your spice level — add more chili oil for extra heat or a bit more soy for saltiness.

Step 4: Assemble

Add cooked dumplings and shrimp to the bowl with chili oil sauce.
Gently toss to coat everything evenly.

Top with halved boiled eggs, a sprinkle of sesame seeds, and more chopped green onions.

Step 5: Serve Hot

Enjoy immediately while warm — every bite is rich, spicy, and full of umami flavor!


🌟 Tips & Variations

  • Add a spoonful of peanut butter or tahini to make it creamier.

  • Drizzle with honey or sweet chili sauce for a spicy-sweet balance.
