If you want a quick and easy lunch or dinner option, then make these semi homemade dumplings that are smothered in a sweet, salty and spicy sauce that will have you literally licking your plate!! I did use the extra sauce that was leftover for a noodle dish and it came out AMAZING!! Pretty much the recipe can be used for two different types of dishes. I did use Trader Joe’s frozen veggie Thai dumplings and they did not disappoint, I highly recommend them but you can always use your favorite dumplings of choice.

Servings: 2
Ingredients
- 1 package Trader Joe’s Thai veggie dumplings I only used half of the bag

- Into this bowl, add the soy sauce, sesame seed oil, salt + pepper and sambal oelek. Mix everything until its well combined and add in the dumpling. Enjoy!
Notes
- I used Trader Joe’s frozen dumplings but you can use your favorite dumplings of choice.
